Lift Shackle on a 98 2wd

Finally got a lift shackle to bring up my saggy rear end... Ordered it off ebay for like $60. I don't normally install this kind of stuff my self but I heard that shackles are super easy to install so I went for. Man were they right, the hardest part was jacking my truck up high enough. Other than that the install took me about 40 min, really easy.
With the shackle installed it gave me about an inch extra. It was supposed to give me 1.5" but I think it sits perfect with just the extra inch.
Enough talking... on to the pics

Before(not a great before pic but trust me the back was much lower than the front)

after






Tell me what yall think

Nope, only altering the front needs an alignment.
