That truck sat 2" higher in the rear and leveled out with a bed full of parts. It also rode really nice on the street and trail.
2.5-2.75" is the stock ranger lift block
There is nothing wrong with using a shackle to lift or level the back of your Ranger. The only issue with a shackle is it only mounts on one side of the spring, so 2" of additional shackle get you 1" of lift.
Sometimes a combo of parts work great. Like a helper spring and if you still need another 1" then add a shackle.
I have seen guys build their own ranger leafs using the main from a 4 door explorer, this can remove the weak de arched spring from your ranger and replace just the one leaf and increase your load carrying abilities.
