1980 Yota tire clearing questions

I picked up a set of almost brand new 36in TSL Super Swampers the other day, i couldn't pass em up..they were kinda FREE! So now i am trying to figure out the cheapest way to clear them. I am on a tight budget, so let me no some cheap ways to lift th truck. I now about the 63' chevy springs, but they are real hard to find.

If that's your truck in the avatar, it shouldn't be very difficult. You can do an add-a-leaf in the rear, plus you have a flatbed and won't have to worry as much about fender clearance. Then maybe do a shackle lift in the front with extended shackles (I use 1.5 inch longer shackles), then cut the fenders. That's the cheapest way I can think of without new springs.

2" block & 6" shackles in the back, Waggy front springs with a 6" shackle and flip the j-arm....all in all 4" lift for under $50

3" bl will net you the most lift for the least amount of money.

longer shackles will help, trimming some fender will also help.
