These are longer than stock, These are not for an OEM application.
don't mean to go too far off topic, but still on the topic of shackles, are lift shackles a viable option on these trucks? With the top perch mod the rear always looks a tad too low in all the pics. A 1" lift shackle seems like it would be perfect with the top perch mod stance wise if it would work.
Really if you are thinking about this... How about adding a 1in spacer on top of the jounce wedge, giving you your lift and a bit more travel before the jounce hits the frame... All ya would need is a block and longer ubolts...
Flame me if you must, but i would like my raptor about 4 inches taller
Not really a fan of blocks though, don't they make the rear weaker by lengthening the torque lever. I think a shackle may be a stronger choice?Flame me if you must, but i would like my raptor about 4 inches taller
Ya but you cant remove the block and increase the length of the shackle to compensate for it...

ADD are you also going to reinforce the shackle hanger ? Nice looking !
As far as adding "More" blocks that Increases "axle wrap up"
Flame me if you wish ?
I guess I won't be getting any Rep points !
ADD so looks like deavers ? and stock lift blocks ? Deaver makes a ? + 2 would they make a + 3 or + 4 arch ? Really need longer leaf springs ? change rear shackle mount ? I'm confused here ! What are you trying to do ? excuse my rambling

Axle wrap is caused by too much flexibility in the system... and the very weak springs on the Raptor
