Default What shackles to use with no lift srbs?

What's up fellas...
I've been wanting more flex out my rear springs and ride quality but I don't want to add any more lift....
I currently have 4.5" re coils up front and 3.5" re leafs in the rear with stock shackles...and the rear is still higher than the front. Even with over 100# pounds of tools and stuff I have in the back.

I plan on buying the no lift srbs but what shackles can I use to not add any extra lift to the rear?

Does anyone have comparison pics of before and after?

Get some that are atleast 2-3 inches longer. The no lift shackle brackets have so much adjustability you'll be able to fine tune your lift height.

Maybe a set of boomerang shackles?

I used Rusty's .75" shackles.

Just so you know the RE 4.5" coils have a really soft spring rate. So if you're loaded up with a bumper and winch you'll loose some lift. I actually lost lift with 4.5" springs compared to RE 3.5" springs.

I'm running RE 5.5 Coils with RE3.5" leafs, no lift relocators, and the .75" shackles and it's pretty much even.

Hmmm interesting...
I do have the re 4.5" coils and a Nates 4x4 winch bumper with a crappybilt winch...
I was wondering why I was lowered in the front...I know when brand new the front springs netted me close to 5-5.5"....
