Typically a Scout 80, 800 has a 3" shackle while Scout II have a 3 1/4" shackle.
A shackle set that is 4" will give
you a lift of 3/8" on a Scout II, a 5" shackle will lift
you 7/8" on a Scout II, and a 6" shackle will lift your
vehicle 1 3/8" on a Scout II(Deduct 1/8" for all Scout
80/800's due to the factory shorter shackle).
Because you are only lifting one end of the leafspring is the reason why you only get a small amount of lift when going with larger shackles.
Keep in mind that because you are only lifting one end of the leafspring you are affecting your steering geometry and may notice your vehicle wanders more when driving. To help alleviate this condition it is recommended you add castor shims to the front axle(Sold separately).
