Use these in the upper control arms in place of the factory rubber bumpers. You can trim them and/or add washers to adjust how tall they are. Replacing the supplied self locking nuts with a serrated flange nut makes changing them a bunch easier.

In the 1970s (I'm also old!) I plotted toe-in vs. inches of lift and found that the last couple inches of lift caused the big increases in toe-in. The no-dollar solution was to lower the front and use snubbers under the upper A arms that were thick enough to prevent those last couple inches. I could still get about 5-6" of travel, iirc.
