Well on my FJ73 i have standard front springs with 3 inch extended front shackles thus providing a 2 inch lift and good flex (see pic)
Due to the huge front shackles the approach angle is not to good. i was thinking about putting rear springs into the front thus moving the axle forward about 15mm and putting in a 25mm front tail shaft spacer in. What effects will this have to the steering and the pitman arm and steering box.
cheers

another suggestion (no i do not have an answer for your original idea) is take a piece of 5" channel cut a triangle and weld it for a shackle shield. i have been toying with this idea for years but never got around to trying it out.
picture a set of fangs...
