Default need some help from the experts

Ok guys i have been doing a lot of research on bastard packs and i picked up some 25 dollar s10 leaf springs. My stock springs are sagging to about straight. I also currently have rear 1.5 in shackles on. I want to get as much lift as i can without having to get a sye or any other mods other than maybe brake lines. Please help!!! Theree is so much info out there it is hard to understand and i need people i can ask questions cause i will have plenty.

Thanks guys

What is your question? If it's how much lift you'll get using the S10 leaf mixed in, it varies by year, model and how wore out they are. Usually 3-4".

i want to know the best way to go about doing it without having to get a sye or do much more than puttin the pack on, maybe changing shackles, extending brake lines and replacing springs on the front and maybe spacers to make sure it is even.

i would rather not have to do a tcase drop but it doesnt seem pricey or difficult so if i need to it wouldnt be a problem.

basically i want the largest lift i can get without having to do alot of changes or spending alot of money. this is just a dd but i want it to look a little beefier and have a bit better suspension.
