They nearly fit anyway. We used to make 1.25" body lift pucks out of cuts of tubing with washers welded to the ends. It's so small you don't notice the body lift.  This worked pretty well for fitting 33s with little rubbing.  A bit of trimming and hammering down the pinch weld at the back of the wheel well work good too.

The ball joint spacers work pretty well.  Then you can use rear lift shackles. If you do longer shocks and low profile bump stops you get a kind of medium/long travel out of the IFS with the ball joint spacers.
