[remo1967]

2003 mazda b3000 2wd dual sport all ready did the front TB lift got 2"now would like get a little in rear. 1-2" rear lift witch one is better shackle lift or add a leaf?

IMO, for that small ammount of lift I would go with the shackles. you will get more flex and a smoother ride.

4 leaf explorer springs (4 door explorer) will also give 1 - 2" of lift and supposedly a smoother ride. You just have to flip the alignment pin in the springs. These are another alternative to an addaleaf.

which ever you do you should make sure your axle is tilted at the correct angle to keep your driveshaft straight, otherwise it would cause your ujoint to wear prematurely. if you go to a store that specializes in offroading they could take some measurements and sell you a set of blocks that would give you the correct angle.
