Post Anti-Sway Bars & level-out

I want to get a pair of Anti-Sway Bars for my 90 GMC Sierra & was wondering if I should go w/ Hellwig or Hotchkis or if they're is a difference. Also I don't want to drop my truck but I just want to level out the rear-end & wanted to know if its better to just get 2" lowering blocks on rear or do what my buddy said & get shackles?? Thanks for all ya'lls help

Thanks,
Timbo

On a full size Sierra, you can't use blocks to lower it cause the springs are above the axle. You would need to "flip" the axle first to the top of the springs. You would need to use the shackle kit. The Hotchkis setup is a very nice kit and is definately the one I would use.
