How do I get the lift I need without shackles?

512Stroker can I ask where you got those beautiful 8" wheels? And what are the specs? 4.5" bolt pattern? Offset and backspace?
Thanks!
Sorry those Cragar wheels are 4 on 5 small bolt pattern.
I bought them from Summit 2 years ago.
Check out Cragar's website they list all the specs, but its not like they have a huge offering of different offsets etc you pretty much have to work with what they have.
Good luck
