After I installed my 2" AS I found I needed to lift the rear. I researched and found the lift shackles similar to the ones you found. I asked on here about lift shackles and got little to no responses, the ones I got said it would put stress on the rearend...? I ended up going with an 1.5" AAL because I couldn't get any good answers.

they've been using boomerang style shackles on Jeeps and other vehicles for years, stress has been put on them and they do very well. I through a set on my buddies jeep the other weekend, not very difficult at all and they soften the rough ride back there.

Just make sure the shocks don't get overextended, you might have to get longer ones like the 4x4 models have.
