Make 2 inch higher mount points, use the original shackles, because to just make longer shackles leads you to doing wrong things to the geometry and stresses of your springs

you'd be lucky to get 2" of lift out of the front end, and if you did you would have pretty much no travel, as the torsion bars would be wound up that tight better idea is to get the leaves reset and a bit more arch put in them. i had about 40mm done in mine and wound the front end up about 30mm to match i was running 31's and wouldnt want to go any bigger as they sucked the power pretty badly
