Spring shackle to raise the rear an inch or so?
I just put new tires on my cart (Precedent), 215/40-12's, and the tires rub when I hit much of a bump or take a higher speed turn. Does anyone make a longer spring shackle that I could install to lift the rear an inch or so? I really don't want a lift kit if I can avoid it. Or is there some other alternative to get a slight lift?

The axle is in the center of the spring, in order to go up 1" you need a shackle that is 2" longer

Re: Spring shackle to raise the rear an inch or so?
I looked at my springs and shackles and I have the offset shackles that are narrower at the top. For full disclosure, I do have the heavy duty spring set. However, following what I read here regarding the ride quality of the HD springs I did as was suggested at the time and removed one leaf. I think that was a mistake. Since I no longer have the leaves that I removed I guess I'll buy another set of HD springs. Hopefully, that will stiffen the suspension up enough to not rub.
