got new tires now i need more room

well i got my new tires on (36's) and i like them so far, but they rub and my gearing isnt right now.



So now wha should i do about moving the axal forword? i was thinking about 2 diffrent ways. 1 put a reloctaion plate on the front spring pads which would get me around 1". 2 take my front springs apart and redrill the centering pin hole on the main leaf which i could move it to where ever i wounted, probly 3". I know the best way would be move the springs forward but i dont have any extra money and trying to get it done fast and cheap. When i get a job agen i can go back and redo it if need be. I know theres lots of yotas out there that been in the same spot so point me the right way.

63" Chevies in back and Rears Up Front. Gives around 5-6" lift and moves front axle forward. the 63"ers aren't too much, can be found in most junkyards and you already have the rears

EDIT: may have to redo steering, which may cost $$$. But just an idea.
