Smile its so hard to make a good decision

ok so i was on fat bobs garage websit and i came across this cheap 3in lift.
it comes with all of this Jeep Cherokee XJ 3" Front 1.5"-2" Adjustable Rear Shackles w/ Performance 8000 Series Shocks

now my question is will the 2 inch shackles be enough for the 3 inch spacers up front or will i be uneven?

im starting my lift questions cuz i finally got rid of the shake

With a 3" spacer in front and 1.5-2" shackle in the back it will sit flat. This assumes your rear springs are not sagging much. I would meausre your ride height, to determine the result of a spacer/shackle lift. instructions for measuring http://www.mike-g.net/jeep/yinyang/tech/tech.html
