Blocks or coil spacers? Lifting front or rear?

Blocks are horrible. We suffer from axle wrap as is, blocks make it worse.

Eric fx found some lift shakles for 34$ that will go as high as 2.5+ inches. Shakles are the best option for a simple lift.

Moving to Advanced tech from OEM.

If you don't like the goofy looking shackles which I dont care for you could make a bastard pack or use an aal also.They all have there ups and downs, best choice full set of leafs but this is pricey.So anything but the cheap blocks. they do make a set of anti wrap blocks that do help so said (I have seen them on an mj build) I just dont have any info at this time if I find a link I will post it for you guys.(they aren't that cheap as far as price I do remember that).

Where did he find those shackle for $34? I have an old lift with hockey pucks up front but the shackles it had are too big for my 96 Cherokee. If he could find them that would be great.
