    About to pull the trigger on a bossed out 6112/5160 kit with rear shackles. I have questions about the options though. I will never off road for the sake of offroading, but I hunt and may occasionally pull a camp trailer, so those are my considerations outside of daily driving.

    Question 1: Should I consider adding a leaf over shackles, if so why?

    Question 2: Which of the crap below do I actually need (not planning on uca's as I will set the fronts at 1.9)?

    Appreciate any personal experience

    What do you regret about the shackles?

    That I have to get stock ones. I want the icon spring pack but they do like 1.5 lift. Plus the 1 to 1.5 shackles, that would be too much lift in the back
