Default rear shackle question

i know this has probably been asked 500 times, but I dont have time to look through the search for the answer to my question. I have a 90' cherokee and I need to lift the rear bad! I got a set of 31's that were slightly used (had like 4k miles on them) off craigslist for $100. My old tires were showing chords so I went ahead and threw them 31's on my truck. They work good, and dont give me too much problems, however, I need to lift the rear worse than the front. I had a guy tell me to swap the main leaf on the rear, and had heard that f150 shackles will work to lift the rear.
