My guess is your existing lift should have came with longer shackles for the rear? If you get longer ones and spacers for the front it will easily work just fine for lifting.

that lift just came with an add a leaf, no bigger shackles. i have a pro comp 3 inch lift and it came with just an add a leaf. so i got rid of those leaf springs and got some RC leaf springs and added the shackle. i have the tereflex 1.5 inch shackles on the rear. it raised it up in the back alot. i am yet to add the spacer in the front. buy the shackle, you will be pleased.

In theory yes, it should be that easy. But just make sure to check your brake lines and shocks afterwards to make sure you don't rip anything off when flexed. You also might experience some additional driveline vibes with an additional 1.5" which would mean an SYE or T-case drop.

that's what i have. spacers and shackles. but your leaf pack might end up taking you way higher than what the tag says. i've seen it happen to a few people and it happened to me. basically, i had to get the front spacers, because my 2.5" leafpack took me 5" in the air. and that's with a 110 lb speakerbox and other junk in the rear.
