and fitting 29" might be enough for me...
My tyres are 33x12.50 and If you look through my build you see how much I cut out to fit them. I also moved the front axle forward around 1.5" my suspension is only about 1" taller than standard.

ahh right, and the tyres i have now are about 27" and what do you think of lift shackles?
ive heard alot about them, like they cause your springs to flatten quicker or snap, is this true?
im not bothered about approach angle as i wont be doing any serious offroading...

If you aren't doing any serious offroading then I would just leave it stock.
longer shackles work if they are set up correctly, running longer shackles with stock SJ springs doesn't really provide any benefits.
