But if you want to leave the front end the same I'd do an AAL or a lift shackle. But the lift shackle is going to only hurt you sagging rear leafs more over time by putting more stress on them and flattening them out.
I have to kind of agree. The issue is that your rear leafs have sagged. The other things are just band-aids. Not that they won't work, but the "right" thing to do is throw an extra leaf in. If you're ambitious enough I'd probably swap your driver and passenger leaf packs side to side because I'm sure your driver side has sagged more. This is mainly due to the extra weight of the gas tank on that side over the years. If you go this route I personally would go with a long AAL as it offers the best ride even though it's a little more money. If cost and time are the objective then a short AAL is the fastest and easiest.
All that being said what shape are your rear leaf shackles in? At this point they may be rotting out so it might be a good idea to check them and replace those before they break.
