Default Bastard pack on a 3 inch aal?

I have a rough country 3 inch aal lift... Not high enough. I'm wondering if a junkyard leaf can be added to make a higher lift? I searched but found nothing regarding adding leafs to a pack that is already lifted. Would that work? Would I have to start over and build a new pack with junkyard leafs?

Would using shackles be a better choice instead?

I heard that shackles are pretty hard on the AALs? I think you'd be fine with some s10 leafs

I'm hoping to net around 5 inch total of lift. I plan on buying 5 inch coils later and build control arms and put the lift all at once. I just need to get all components together first.
