Well there is a 2 inch front and back for like 190$ or one with 3 inch front and 2 inch back for 250$. Would a 3 inch front with 2 inch look normal or would the front look too high compared to the back?

If it is coil springs up front and shackles in the rear for the 3" and rear 2", then it might look weird. How are your leaf springs currently looking? Are they sagging any?

Yeah how are your rear springs lookin? I put the puck and shackle on mine and my rear springs were so saggy it didn't do much just add to the terrible ride.

If there is any reverse arch then adding a shackle will just make them worse. I know from experience because I did the same thing and so did my dad. I recommend saving your money and just getting a whole new kit or bastard back it don't go with the puck and shackle.

X2, or if your leaves are okay, then you might want to check out an add a leaf kit, they are a little cheaper, if you plan on doing a lot of flexing or off roading that requires articulation, then I would suggest new full pack leaf springs with your lift. I bought an add a leaf kit and so far its done great, I go mudding and mild trails, and I haven't noticed any sagging yet.

If your spring's aren't already shot a add a leaf will work for a while. It all just depend's on the condition of your springs.
