New 83 pickup ?'s

Ok so I got me an 83 yota today & im new to the 1st gen world so I have a few ?'s
1. Can you just put shackles under it to lift the front & rear?
2. What can I do to get it to flex a little more?

I wouldn't put huge shackles in front, it messes the steering up and your onroad handling will go to crap. If your other springs are in decent shape, I would consider going Add-A-Leafs, or just buy you some new spring packs if you have the money.
