How do I get the lift I need without shackles?

66Dart273 - I will never forget how much you helped me with my 360 build 10 years ago. Your advice is always sage. And in this case you are right again that I should lower the front end a bit but the problem is the cheap headers I installed are already banged up beyond belief from hanging so low.

I think I'm going to go with the suggestion by 66340Sedan with the modified front hanger brackets and also wait to see the pics from Lefty71 with the block installed at the rear leaf hanger to see if I can raise the rear that way.

Also now seriously considering not going with the SS springs due to always seeing people talk about how stiff the ride is. Maybe just try to get my flat espo springs re-arched and hope these other mods do the trick...
