Default How did you raise you 5"er?

Well I put my new 16" rims on with Michelin XPS Ribs (245/75R16) and there just is not enough room between the fender skirt to make me feel comfortable. So I have decided that it is time to raise the 5'er 1" to allow for more clearance. It will make it tow more level as well. My frame has another set of shackle (I guess that is the name) holes 1" closer to the ground. If I put the leaf springs and the yoke in the middle into this lower set I should get about 1" more of height and clearance. In the past I have asked Gulf Stream if that would be OK to do when I needed it for rear stabilizer clearance. They said it would be fine and that is what the other set of holes were there for.

So:
Where did you lift?
Did you do one side then the other? Or front then back?

Please be specific.
