If you want the cheap way - then add a leafs. If you want to go the expensive way, you can go online and look up your spring code and see how stiff of springs you have. If you have the weaker springs, then you can either a) go online and buy a pair or complete leaf springs or b) go to a junkyard and get heavier duty leafs. But, if you had to choose between either the add a lead or the shackles I would do the add a leaf. You'll stiffen the rear just a touch and you won't gain but maybe 2 inches max of lift. With 400lbs of stuff in the rear your original shocks may be fine depending on how much it sags after the new add a leafs are in, or do one better and get longer shocks. Either way, I think an add a leaf will work fine, but heavier duty leaf packs will work best.
