i currently have a 2in with shackles in the rear. i dont mind the 2" shackles cause i dont have a gas tank skid and its saved my butt hundreds of times. also im running 31's. i have springs waiting to go in but im waiting for the rest of the lift.

i have a g/t skid, so thats not a concern..basically i want some more height to clear 30x9's with no rubbing (sway won't get disco'd) and it will be light muddy offroading.

What does a gas tank skid have to do with 2" shackles?

The shackles lower the rear end of the spring to below the gas tank so he hits them instead of the gas tank.

Go with the shackles so when you buy a spring lift later you can still use them and be that much taller.
