Post Leaf Springs Or Shackles?

The rear sits just a bit two high and wanna make it as level as possible. Hotchkis makes leaf springs for a two inch rear drop. Which would be better shackles or springs?

THanks

Will the Hotchkis springs allow you to keep your bed load rating? If not, save money and do the shackle mod; have never heard any bad feedback on them.

According to the advertisement it will but i dont know if i wanna go through the trouble of tearing apart the rear with only 102 miles on the clock...seems kinda early! They also claim better handling...im not sure how true that is....anyway i would do the springs if it is the "proper" way of dropping the rear.
