6" Fabtech with...

I have a 6" Fabtech on my F150 right now.. Looking to go up a little more.

I want to throw an AAL on the rear...

If i go with a 1 1/2" AAL from AS should i go with a 2" or 2 1/2" front AS Spacer to keep the look where it's at now.

I don't want the front and rear to be different heights...

Looking to purchase ASAP.. Any suggestions guys?

I went with 2" AS and a 1.5" rr lift shackle. I had a 2.5"AS b4 but the ride ride was to rough.

Ive got a skyjacker 1.5" aal I could stand to get rid of. Also have stock leaf packs with 2" aal in them. This post just made me think all the stuff i have laying around i should sell...

I would however recommend doing the aal in the rear. I had no problems when i ran that setup. ride was stiffer but nothing terrible..

I have never really heard of a shackle lift but are there any weaknesses to these?
I know AAL can be used to get away from a huge block therefore reducing axle rap and they can also be used to haul more in the back but i dont need to haul any more i never haul anything or go off road so would s shackle lift be the way to go?
Its cheap and i can't really see a downside if it will only be used on the road. right?
