Shackles are easier to install in my opinion.

Shackles are easier and ride better just good luck not snapping the bolt, I was contemplating blocks for a little while too, they're cheaper and you can get em at autozone

I've seen shackles just make the springs arch backwards. So no lift on stock springs.
