I can buy Warrior 1.25" rear shackles and 2 inch front spacers for my 94 xlt from ebay (sellers that ship here). I plan to buy 31s as well. My question is, is this going to be fine? or do I need to buy 2 inch shackles with 2 inch spacers?
(I can also go the add a leaf route but unsure which is better even after searching the topic)

i have a 91 explorer, before i put my shackles and coil spacers on i was running 31's with no rubbing at all.

as for the actual shackles...it depends on your leaf sag really...in my opinion

i did an AAL on the rear and it stiffened it up to where there was no sag. then used the 1.25 shackles.

if your not using an AAL i would suggest the 2" ones unless you do a sloped BL

or your front end will be higher and you will have the cali dune truck look
 






do not slope the BL. just do it right. i did 2in coil spacer up front and an AAL in the rear with the WAR shackles. looked perfect. just a slight rake.
 






What size warrior shackles did you use Dora?
 






I just did yesturday a 153 warrior shackle witch is 2".. and 2" coil spacer and it looks real good.. Its on my 93 ex..
