I just placed my order with DIY4X for their flip kit, shackles, ez-inch and new rear ubolts.

Between the issues with the clutch and the cost of new rear brake lines, as well as new rear shocks and possibly a new rear drive shaft (hopefully just angle shims though) I'm second guessing my financial capability to do the front spring lift, steering corrections, u-bolts, shocks and bushings.

What do you guys think about lifting just the rear for the meantime? How will it wheel and drive? I've already got helper springs in the front and my rear springs are quite saggy.

Also any recommendation for what angle shims I may need? Its an 1983 with an SM465, NP208. Will be using 4.5" DIY4X strap shackle and flip as well as an EZ inch.

Or will I just have to bolt it up and measure the angles?

Also what is everyone's take on saggy rear springs; Are they more flexy in a sense?
 
whats your point for using the ez inch? why not put the flip in the rear and the ez inch up front, it will still have a slight rake but probably wont look too bad.
 
The rear springs are really old and saggy so I opted for the EZ inch to insure that I've got 4" lift. Plus I want to move the rear axle back in the wheel well.
