Rear Leaf Question: Lift Shackles or lift springs?

Currently running 1.5" AAL with Lift Shackels (~1 1/4") for about 3" lift.
Im looking to replace my leafs with either:


3" Leafs and stock shackles: http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/OME-CS019R-Dakar-Leaf-Pack-955-97-Tacoma_p_207.html

1.5" Leafs with current lift shackles:

Im leaning towards the 1.5" leafs as I dont think I have my stock shackles . Any benefit getting rid of the lift shackles?

 

I am not sure why it is saying it is is 3" lift but you can also look into the All Pro 3" springs. The Dakars are more like 2.25".

 

They had some 2.25" leafs available as well on Toytec. Doesnt work for me thouhg without a spacer or .75" lift shackle. Trying to stick with 3".

 

The one you linked is for 95.5 to 97. 01-04 are different length rear springs.

 

Oh, gotcha. I guess my question is answered then. 1.5" it is.
