I agree with Craig on this one. You are FAR better off putting in the spring pack. First, it offers superior longevity compared to factory, second, it has double-wrapped eyelets that help eliminate wheel hop and last you are putting in a brand new pack as opposed to extending the usable life of an old one.

If your springs are sagging, shackles are definitely not the answer. They flatten the spring pack, lower departure angle and because of the flattening of the spring pack, reduce it's usable life.

In the long run, saving money now just may cost you more money in the future. If you spend the money on the AALs, in the future (maybe not so distant) you will wind up replacing the spring pack anyway. You might as well spend the money up front now if you can afford it and get it done. That way you will be set for a long time to come. Keep in mind though that the front will also have to be lifted to make up for the gain from the new leaf pack. So that will increase the price of the job.
