I forgot but how do you check your pinion/driveshaft angle to see if everything is lined up to spec after you have lifted it?

ok so I would have to make or buy a longer fixed hanger to move the shackle down. but it can't be a shackle or it will move. and I only want the back to be able to move. Ok I think that is what ppl are tring to say. No the question is how much, the same amount that I move the shackle up?

No you are moving both front and back down. and yes you not want front to move, just the rear.fixed hanger 4 inch longer, then rear 4 inch longer, =raises truck 4 inches

Even thou I went thru all this to understand I think I am going save up and go with the add a leaf because I think it will be safer in the long run and finding or making a fixed front hanger will be much harder then making shackles and no chance of messing up the drivabilaty. I HOPE to get this done soon and get new tire so I will post before and after pics.
