So im looking to get a quick cheap lift for my Jeep and was gunna go springs in the front but for the rear i cant decide to do the Bastard pack or should i do shackles? Only looking for 3-3.5 of lift so i dont have to do a whole lot of changes like i would if i went to 4.5inch. Which would help me more, i use my Jeep mainly for DD and would like to start doing some wheeling soon. thanks guys

3 inches of lift is a lot for shackles alone. I would do a bastard pack, then when the day comes to go bigger you could do some 1-2" shackles...

Do a little of both. get 2 inch shackles for pretty cheap and then throw on a good bastard pack. that will give you the best ride and flex.
