you need to be more specific in what youre trying to accomplish. or get out of the rear lift.

i think it would be based upon which you prefer. i think they both give the same height but i think the difference would be in the ease of installing or the ride you want. if you go with the add a leaf your ride is going to be a whole lot stiffer.with the shackle i think your ride should feel stock. only because by adding a leaf you would be making it more stiff for the springs to give and bend. another thing to me is the shackle is easier to install. i have an add a leaf system in my truck now and its a whole lot stiffer, but i dont mind that.
