Debating on what to do with my 83's front suspension swap

So ive already bought my 63s and new brackets to lift the rear and ive been debating on what to do with the front end. I dont want to block it at all was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of something to do to match the height the 63s are going to add. This truck will be used as a crawler i don't want to go passed 6 inches for the time being i was thinking about just replacing the front shocks and getting longer leafs for the front as well rather than the stock flat leaf springs. Any ideas would be greatly aprecciated my ideal height i want out of it is around 4 to 6 inches. I weld for a living so any fabrication wont be a problem thanks

You can put the rear leafs up front (ruf), I went wheeling (rocks) with an 83 with 63" rear springs, and stock rear toyotas up front, and it did great, good flex, low, stable we really liked it. I would suggest frenching the rear brackets in the frame to keep it low.
