I just got finished adding some 2" lift shackles (3leaf fab) and a 1.5" T-Bar crank, i also got some new TOYO open country A/T ( 31x10.50-15R)

this is a pic of it with just the shackles on it and a T-Bar crank...

and a closer shot of the shackles (it looks really rusty back there, darn canadian rain and snow all the time)...

and this is it, it looks so much better IMO
