Hi, just wondering if any one has done a cradle lift, as I've got mine out to replace the oil pan. I'm running with OME heavy duty spring, shocks and Al's A arms up front and the springs seem to have sagged an inch over time, so I was going to give it a clevis lift on rebuild, but then I got to thinking that if I put a spacer between the cradle and body I'd get the lift and reduce the angle on the cv joints, so if any one out there has any thoughts on this I'd apreacate you in put.

Reduce angle on cv joints, but increase angle of the upper ball joint.

Also mess with angles of the front driveshaft and the rear driveshaft,will creat vibs unless you drop the trans/t-case crossmember also.Then you got other issues to deal with like cutting the fan shroud to clear the fan,may need to extend some wiring,and reducing the amount the steering coupler is engaged to each other.
