Re: Extended Shackles
The stock shocks don't have much travel to begin with, so I would consider new shocks after even a 1" lift. Just be sure to also check the compressed length so they don't bottom out. The stock shocks and swaybar links should be fine with 1/2" lift. Bebe is running the Samco shackles (3/4" lift) with the Fox shocks with no problems.
With what I've done, the brake lines may need to be lengthened but I haven't done it yet. There is a bit of play in them at stock height.
From what I've read, anything beyond 2" of lift and you need to start worrying about things like pinion angle.
