More Lift

so i recently finished my sas with a 6" lift and 35's but i still dont think it is quiet tall enough... some of you said i could drop my front coil buckets so i dont have to run any bigger coils, how many of you guys have done that? and have you had any problems with doing that? as for the rear...i was thinking of reversing the shackles and just turning the bracket upside down, i know a few people that have done this, what do you guys think about this? if i have any problems with the pinion angle i figure i could just reweld the perches but i dont think its gonna be to dramatic. i want to run 38's and i know my axles arnt gonna withstand the beating so i will run them until i break them any thoughts on the whole lift idea would be appreciated-Josh

Ive lowered my coil towers with no ill effects. when you flip the shackles, it automatically corrects the pinion angle for the most part.
