Here is a picture I came accross from my initial jeep trip with the shackle reversal completed. It is a MORE shackle reversal and BDS springs.
The shackle reversal provides about a 1.5" of lift and I went with 3.5" springs in the front and then 5" lift springs in the rear. I also gain about
1" of lift from the MORE boomerang shackles. So, after it all settled in I have about 5.5 to 6" of lift. It is sitting on 33" tires in the picture.

There is plenty of room to fit 35" tires which are next.

I also did the tube work on the front end you can see.

Looks good!
I currently have a 4" BDS lift on my scrambler with a 1" shackle. I would like to put a reverse shackle kit on it, but I actually want to keep my 33's so I was hoping it might lower it a little bit so they will fill the wheel well more. If I put a stock height shackle and reverse shackle kit, what do you think that will do to my ride height? Does a typical reverse shackle kit lower or raise the jeep at all?
 
The MORE shackle reversal kit will add 1.5" of lift to the front. You may be able to keep the rear springs and see if you can get a 2.5" BDS springs for the front as well as go back to the stick shackle height.
