Default Shackles vs Add a Leaf????

What's the word out there? Should I use shackles or add a leaf to lift the rear end of my durango. What's going to work best?

Thanks

It depends on your application. If you do a lot of towing I would go with the add-a-leaf, it will provide extra support on the rear. If you just want to maintain the same ride then go with shackles.

Thanks Mean Green, you had replied to a similar question I had several months ago, i did not remember what you had said.
Another quick question. I also need to replace the shocks all around. Would I use the same size shocks once the durango is lifted or would the shocks differ? Also, do I have to change brake lines and so?

Thanks

PR you shouldn't have any issues with the brake lines or anything for only 2 inches of lift and the shocks should be fine too.

As much as you want. Hell you could get the stockers bent to give you lift but it will change the ride quality.
