If the leaves are designed to work with a particular shackle length...the shackles will traditionally be responsible for a good proportion of the wheel travel.

So - You might get the total inches of lift you want...but, maybe not the articulation...as lift leaf only systems traditionally do not articulate as well as leaf/longer shackle combinations.

Food for thought.
