I don't recommend extended shackles. They negatively effect the handling of the car. It would be much better to get a new set of springs....like the 6 leaf ones for a performance model. Get matching bushings at the same time. If you can't afford new springs, get your old ones re-arched as a temporary fix, and/or, maybe add a spring to the pack. The shackle bushings should all be the same size. The front hanger bushing comes in two different sizes

Thanks for the advice! I am on a super limited budget. So even though your advice on the springs and shackles is on point , I’m just looking for a certain aesthetic. A slight raise in the rear. Now air shocks are a definite hell no. I know she won’t handle like an indy car, I just wanted to replace the bushings and add an inch to the lift. Right now there’s no bushings left. Sounds awful on tight corners.
Thanks for the reply!
