quick suspension question
What is the difference, and what are the pros and cons to a "add-a-leaf suspension lift" and a "shackle hanger lift". Mainly looking to clear bigger tires. Not really an offroad driver, I just like the looks. I am considering 33.5 - 35" tires. Any help would be appreciated.

add a leaf up's the height and GVW on the front axle just a little and can give you a stiffer ride... the longer shackle just lifts the front end a little keeping the same ride and GVW..

I have lift shakles in the front(I have no clue of the sizes, ive looked at stock ones, and mine are dif. bigger), and i love the way its rides. Compared to my buddys who did an add a leave system, my truck rides much better.
