What is the Rear main eye 2 inch lift?
On the rear of your truck, the leaf spring is connected by two points, a fixed point at the front and a point with a shackle at the rear. This replaces your front fixed point with a heavy duty bracket that lifts your truck 2".

What are the benefits of using the rear main eye 2" lift?
Typically, a truck is lifted with either a lifted spring or a lift block. A lift spring uses a higher spring rate resulting in a stiff lumber wagon ride. A lift block add more leverage causing axle wrap/hop under acceleration. Lift blocks are also notorious for falling out and causing terrible accidents.
A rear main eye 2" lift allows you to keep your stock spring rate and does not have the hazards of using a block. Some auto manufactures came stock with blocks in the back. The shackle flip can replace those blocks allowing more traction for towing, off-road, or fun burn outs!
We also upgrade the mounting hardware to 1/2" which results in way stronger clamping force! Note: may need to ream out stock rivet holes. Uses 5/8" grade 8 bolts for the leaf springs! 
What if I want more than 2 inches of lift for my truck?
Easy! When the Rear main eye 2" lift is paired with our 4" shackle reversal you will total 6" of lift!
How easy is it to install the Main eye 2" lift on my truck?
Very easy!
  1. Safely lift/jack truck up and put on jack stands. Make sure to use proper safety gear and equipment
  2. Locate rear main eye hanger and remove leaf spring from it
  3. Remove rivets holding main eye hanger on frame. This can be done super fast with an air chisel. Another method is using a cutoff wheel to cut an X in the rivet. Then take a hand chisel to the heads to remove them.
  4. Bolt in main eye hanger and torque bolts to 38 FT/LBS. 
  5. Bolt in leaf spring to main eye hanger 2" lift. The rest is reverse of removal.
  6. After driving 100 miles make sure to re-torque bolts

Note: Adding a main eye 2" lift may change pinion angle in some cases, If you do need to correct your pinion angle a shim is usually all it takes to correct. Shims can be purchased at most drive shaft shops.

 Note: The bracket lift height is based off of what you are at now. So for example if your truck came with a 2" block and you use a 2" drop bracket it would be 2" lift keeping the block. If you remove the 2" block you will end up with stock height (2" drop - 2" block = 0" lift).

Note: On some applications like ramchargers, 2 bolt holes may need to be drilled because the frame height is shorter.
