also, does anyone know about reverse shackles? i was thinking that they would give me a few more inces of lift i wanted, but im not sure if it'll throw anything off. i've seen some trucks where the axles were off center in the wheel wells and thats a BIG no-no. im sort of anal with my stuff. also, anyone know of a good way to lift up the front bumper that looks clean?

i hope to get her in a partial restoration condition before i get my liscense. nothing fancy, but i hope new sheet metal, mechanically sound and looking good under the hood, and new paint/wood/and i hope for no bondo. one of the previous owners had a little field day with the bondo...
