Ok, I put 3" blocks in back to get my sagging rear up. Now my GW looks like a race car. (OK its not that bad.) I like the heigth in the back (top of tire just under wheel well.) Please help with suggestions for the front. Shackles, Terra-flex, new springs, add a leaf, etc. Obviously I would not like to spend more than necessary.

Chebbie shackles are taller than FSJ ones. They will probably lift the front about an inch or so, and can be found at your local junkyard. =)

Check the thread on revolver shackles. There are some thoughts that these add hight too.

What year/model chebbie shackle? I have been watching the revolver debate, that is what make me think of them. If I go the revolver path does it just replace the front or both?
I think I would like about 2-2.5". I would like the front just a bit lower than the rear.

If your going that high I would probably go with new springs. 2-2.5" is a little high to do with shackles. (the pinion angle would be a litte high)
