Question 1.5" Dastar shackles

I ordered 1.5" Dastar shackles the tallest one's that they had
the problem is I got over 2.5" on the T Bar crank!
and the 31 x 10.50 x 15 BF Goodrich KM2's fit great
no rubbing at all !
but the front of the Blazer sets highher than the rear !
I was thinking about a add a leaf but how much lift in the rear with the 1.5" shackle and the add a leaf?
I know the add a leaf won't make the ride smooth I don't bare about the ride
PS...... LOVE THEM BFG KM2's

I'd lower those t bar's back down about an inch that much cranking on them is gonna get expensive replacing ball joints/cv's

well i got a little missleading on the full t bar crank
still some threads left on the bolts
but the rear still sets low
just got in today ruff country add a leaf for the rear
going out about 4 am (when it's cool) about 98 out side and put them in yea it's 98 at 4 AM in Las Vegas
it just doesn't look right setting low in the rear
and the add a leaf will increase my gvw
and make it ride like a buck board
also put in all new ball joints and 1/2 shaft's in the front end
Upper & Lower A arm bushings bump stops tie rod ends pitman arm drag link
I mean everything is new
I didn't like the way the CV boots looked
EVERYTHING is new in the front end
the problam is the nut behind the steering wheele is still loose
But the 31 x 10.50 x 15 BFG KM2's look great
just wish it would rain in Las Vegas so I can play in the mud
