Hey all,

This is my first time posting here so I will fill you in on what I'm in the middle of. Doing a low budget buildup on my 87 R/C to make it more capable offroad. I've done a 3" body lift so far, and right now putting in 8 lug axles out of a 3/4 ton dodge p/up, going with the disc brake conversion for the rear Dana 60 and got a new set of 35" boggers waiting to be mounted.

Here's the question, in the rear I am doing a shackle flip and restacking the leafs to gain approx. 4-5" of lift. Kind of stumped on what to do to the front to match the lift in the rear. Can't use shackles since they are in the rear of the front springs and it would throw my pinion angle off. I've got extra leafs that I can stack to gain about 2" of lift but not sure how to get the rest I need to level it out. Hate the idea of buying a set of new lift spring packs as they tend to be extra stiff for R/C's and limit articulation. Anybody got any ideas? With maybe a website with pics to look at?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
