so just a quick question for ya, can i run belltech shackles and keep running the lift blocks that came with my superlift kit? just need a little more room to stop rubbing under flex and wanna make sure this isn't some weird situation where the two methods of lift may conflict with eachother and mess things up. thnx.

It's perfectly fine, there will not be any problems what so ever.

I'd work on ditching those stacked blocks though...

Expo leaves would let you eliminate the stock block.

so explorer leaves combined with only the bell tech shackles and superlift blocks will provide the same amount of lift as stacked blocks, shackles and stock leaves? (i think i typed that right??)

btw i just picked up my belltech shackles last night, but everywhere i read ppl say to get the chevy lowering shackles (belltech 6400) but i bought the belltech 6400 shackles and it says " 88-06 gm 1/2ton-1 ton, 97-03 ford f150, 94-99 dodge ram 1/2ton" i held the shackles beside my current ones and the width is the same so i assume they are the right shackles? just doesnt say "chevy" anywhere on the box.

the hardest part is getting out your the rusted bolts holding them on. It took me like an hour and that was WAY longer than it should have been. The problem was i couldnt get the rusted bolts out.

What exactly do you have to do? I'm thinking about ordering some this weekend so I want to be sure how to put them on.
