Rear lift idea's

I completed my SAS on my truck last year. I put a DANA 60 with 6 inch sky jacker springs in the front. In the I rear put the blocks that came in the kit along with an add-a-leaf. Since then i have moved to TX and am finally settled down i want to redo the rear lift the right way. Here is the problem. How much lift did i gain when i did the SAS and 6" inch lift? My plan was to put a set of Sky-manufacturing shackles on the rear and then new leaf springs completely getting rid of the factory blocks and sky jacker blocks. How many inch springs should i order and is this a resonable set-up or is there something better out there.

Measure how much block you have, subtract the stock block and add about 2" that the addaleaf created. That number should get you close.
