Stop in for a cup of coffee

Soo... just curious.. now that my springs are installed properly and have settled i have like 1-1.5" of space between the tire and the outside inner wheel wells, it looks great with the tires tucked in but i don't feel like bouncing off them over bumps. So.. my front spring mounts do have a lower hole but will add negative pinion which i can't really do. Was just wondering if 1-2" longer shackles would raise it much? And yes.. i hate the long shackle thing but i'm not talking thunderbolt and lightfoot... and the factory ones are pretty short.. Are there downsides to slightly longer ones?

Also thinking of how i might modify the wheel wells to keep the lower ride height due to awesomeness.. but not sure how much room i have due to how the quarter rolls in.. Funnily i have plenty of room at the wheel lip..

P.S. these are new ESPO +1 springs so i am not up for buying another set now...
