Put the leaf through the shackle at the middle hole. That should raise the rear up about an inch to an inch and a half.

Ok I tired to lower my truck with 2 inch shackels but I couldn't get them to fit in the middel hole and the last hole is way to low I want a 4/7 so all I need is 1 inch in the back I have a 4/6 with a flip kit in the back idk y but I don't think the shackels are made for what I'm trying to do so anyone know how else I can get 1 more inch in the back I don't like the little gap I'm not sure if it's because of the flip kit or what

Super easy. Less work actually than what you have already done. You may have to get longer u-bolts if you have less than an inch and a half left on the ones you have now tho. Jack up the truck and put it on stands. Put the jack under the rear end, undo the u-bolts and jack the axle up. Put the block between the axle and the leafs and put it all back together.

Labor time: half hour if you are semi-mechanically oriented.

Good luck and lets see some new pics :cheers:
