2" shackles will give 1" lift, effect steering via castor and reduce approach. Depending on whether you run longer springs or not they will also give a harsher ride due to the shackle being too vertical.
How some mods will benifit from shackles ie RUF without chassis extention, longer rear springs etc.
Work out what you need, actual length of spring eye to eye(around the curve) = chassis eye to eye + shackle eye to eye - 1". This way your shackle should never be horizontal.
