Need some input on increasing K5 lift

I have a 72 Blazer with a 4" all spring lift and running 35's. As it sits the back is about a inch lower in the rear.

Anyway, I am hoping to may be extend the front shackle to gain an extra 1-1.5" and make up the difference in the rear with blocks. What are thoughts on this. Would I have to by new shocks or worry about drive shafts being to short?

Are there other options besides tearing off what I have and buying a new 6" lift?

All opinions appreciated!
