Front suspension questions

Alright guys (and gals), can i use a shackle kit with my add-a-leaf on the front. I wanna go up a little bit, but want to do it on a budget. I'm thinking matching it with either an add a leaf or 350 block on the rear. Wat ya'll think?

I wouldn't see why you couldn't do a shackle kit with your add-a-leaf, should be fine.

shackle or a mini-pack would be fine, mini pack keeps you steering and panhard bar closer to stock. And unless you want it to ride stiffer I'd say go with the F350 block out back instead of an add-a-leaf.
