Ugh...too nose high?

I had a similar look on my tri-axle toyhauler, I took some heavy wall square tubing the same width as my springs and made some spacers to go under my springs and on top of axle perch using longer u-bolts to raise mine up. Just like using lifting blocks in a truck lift kit. Works great! I feel my setup is much better, stronger, safer than longer shackles!

Sure looks like the easy solution if one only wants 1-2 inches , other then you, we don't see anyone mention your method.

Cutting off the shackles welding on a spacer then welding the shackles on sure seems like the long way around getting lifted a couple inches. Replacing the u-bolts with longer ones ,and using a square tube for a lifting block , sure can't see a problem with that. Pretty inexpensive if doing it yourself, and just buying new u-bolts.

I would imagine there comes a point on how much one can block up the axles, but to me extending the shackles with an alignment kit gives it a chance for more side movement in the shackles, pretty much the same as just adding longer shackles, which IMO is not the way to go.
