i just re located the hard mount on mine in the rear to make it work

I've never heard of 4inch lift shackles...sounds a bit oddball, if you're looking for 4inches I would say do it right.
At 4 inches to do it PROPERLY which is my key word, it's more than tossing on some coils/spacers/leafs/shackles whatever combo you went with (at 4 inches I'd say new leafs and coils or a mix of those and the spacers/shackles which would of course be for 2" or less lift height) you're looking at brake lines, rear driveline vibe issues (sye) new lower contol arms, new trackbar, shocks, and possibly a few other things I may have forgotten. I'd pass on those and do it the proper way, remember to do things the right way, and keeping safety and functionality in mind, it's not cheap.
Just Empty Every Pocket.
another thing to keep in mind is lift isn't everything, do some searching on low cog setups. Pretty fun reads at the least!
