All,

Please give me your opinion on how I should lift my explorer 1.5"+/- if I tow a 4200lb. boat twice a year. Once in the spring from home to the marina, second time in the late fall from the marina to home. Should I be concerned with leaf flattening if I use shackles? Or, should I just add-a-leaf? Also, my offroading is mainly fire roads, dirt roads, and fields (usually muddy), in order to get to my duck and upland bird hunting areas and fly fishing spots. I am generally offroad 3 or 4 times a week in peak hunting and fishing seasons. No serious rock crawling. I plan on going to 31" tires.....

Thanks in advance!
