Simple answer - No

I suggest you do a good search on drop shackles though to see whether they are what you are after. There are plenty of discussions on the topic.

Lets not turn this thread into another drop shackle debate :roll:

Yes, you need exactly 5 inches of suspension lift to run drop shackles.

Exactly 5. Or something :roll:

You can't be serious, can you?

Drop shackles combined with a complete spring inversion is the best way to go. It gives you fully SIC flex

Mods. Clean up on aisle 5. This question has been asked (by this poster!), discussed and answered. This is going to go nowhere fast.
