I have an 84 with SA and im raked just a little towards the front. Im just looking for a cheap way to lift the front a few inches. I was thinking of a shackle but I dont want to throw my pinion angle out of wack. Are there any junkyard leaf spring tricks out there i can do for cheap. Thanks

 

Longer rear shackle is probably the easiest and won't mess up your pinion anything noticeable.

 

Doesn't a longer rear shackle lift the rear??

 

As said by wabbit, it won't mess it up noticeably. if you add 5" shackles, then yes its going to make a big difference. But 1" to 2" shackles will not be a problem.

There is a "cheap" junkyard fix, which is to do a "Rears up front" conversion, or just buy a few leaf packs from the yard and build your own.

 

Longer shackles may give some lift up front:

Easy enough to correct the pinion/caster angle:

Rears up front (RUF) is about as cheap as you can go to my knowledge. If you're anywhere near Omaha, NE I have a couple sets.

 

Find a used 2-3 inch lift spring pack. Junk yard or another Yota owner.

 

just add a leaf and get your springs crowned
