To replace your 2-1/2" long shackles you will want to go with the MORryde Suspension Upgrade Kit # MR46ZR which comes with the 2-1/4" long shackles. While generally we do like the replacement shackles to be identical in size to stock. A difference of only 1/4" is not going to affect your suspension at all. So the 2-1/4" shackles will definitely be the way to go.
