Default Help, need 3.5 of lift in rear?

I need 3.5 lift in the rear to fit new 32's. I have 2-2.5" new adjustable shackles, but my rear leafs are sagging and are pretty much shot. Don't want to do a basterd pack either becasue of the stock leafs being shot and using to top stock one. Also, I do not have my stock shackles as I threw them out because the bushings were show.

What leafs would get me there using my existing shackles?

Unless someone has some stock shackles that are in great shape?

I like the OME 2" leaf pack. You think it would OK with my 2" shackles and those, might setle 1/2 inch?

Thanks

Really? After doing some reading, I understand this is a temporary fix on bad leafs and they will sag anyway over time. ???

Anything will sag over time, but AAL's do it faster, yes.
