If you are going to do shackles and spacers then just go wth the 4.5 lift.

Don't wanna hack the fenders up? Lol. Not a bad thing but not for all. Mine is beat up, and hacked up, and gets more looks than my new Tow Pig.

Clayton short arms. its a little more money but flexes like a SOB that's what I'm going with to replace my 2in spacer lift (running 32 9.5s and only a little rubbing up front)
