Well, if I had to run a 2wd off road...I'd ABSOLUTELY get longer shackles over AAL.
A 2wd HAS TO keep its tires on the ground...and that means articulation. AAL's KILL articulation by stiffening the pack...so your tires can't stay on the ground.
A shackle allows swing, letting the pack flex and reach the ground better.
A shackle will not sag...an AAL can sag with time (Most do sag with time...)
So - if you want a reliable rear PML lift...get AC's 6.5" eye to eye shackle.
