I have used them with stock shackles and custom ones, and there were no issues pertaining to the shackles. Good springs for the $$$.

The fronts aren't the problem. The rear shackles need to be longer, otherwise the spring wrap will hit the frame. You could also cut the second wrap off of the rear spring and get longer shackles like I did.

I use the BDS springs with 1/2 in lift shackles and they work great HOWEVER, do not buy the kind of shackle with a welded bar in the middle (I am not familiar with the Daystar shackle). You will want the ones that are two seperate plates and you cannot use a bushing in the middle in place of the middle bar. Just two bolts is all. Then you will have a happy suspension, otherwise it just won't bolt on at all!
