I snuck this question in another thread, so I don't think it will get seen. With the '88 runner I decided to purchase, I decided a future lift of sort would be desirable. I decided on BJ spacers (1.5"), but an having troubles matching rear options to balance the height. Would just an AAL even things out, or would a full/bastard pack be more ideal? I would prefer to leaf my shackle alone, as I believe shackle length adjustments affect pinion angle (right?)

thanks all, and I will keep people posted on my soon to be project!

You might be able to find an add-a-leaf that would give around 2" of lift, but they would probibly settle a little aswell.

Longer shackles do effect pinion angle, but they do it for the better. As the axle swing down the pinon angle is pretty much corrected by the longer shackle.
