new leaf springs or shackles

I have OME rear leafs w/additional leaf. I have raised the whole vehicle 4-4.5 inches, trimmed rear fenders and have installed 33" (285x 17) tires. Started a couple years ago as level; not heavy wheeling. I now have insufficient wheel well clearance; sagging over time. I have full steel rear bumper and large spare out-back. And I wonder if it best to install new leafs or put boomerang shackles w/existing leafs? I would not mind having a slight rear-end-high stance.

Which leafs?
Thanks, Steve
 
Relocation brackets and a shackle will give u more ride, flex and adjustable that's how I'd go than swap the leafs later
 
^ Agree! Proper shackle angle will make a world of difference, and give you a small amount of lift
