shackles are what the springs attach to...Add a leaf is just that...I wouldnt reccomend it. Due to your springs probally being almost flat like mine are(if there OE). I wouldnt do a AAL or a Shackle lift unless i had new/better spring packs otherwise your just beating a dead dog.

Do the JY lift...dodge dokota springs and jeep grand cherokee coil springs. you can mix and match this lift for 3-4" of lift. Its dirt cheap...i just got done pulling my dakota leafs this afternoon.

Save your cash and get a full lift.

You will not be happy with a AAL and for that price you are almost at a full 3in Rough Country lift.

AAL and spring spacers are great if you only want a lift for a year or two. Spacers are OK but AAL's are basically Junk.
