Have you popped the ball joint yet from the upper control arm?
The guys in the states pop the top joint pull the bottom arm down to get the strut back in and then put a floor jack under the LCA to lift the assembly back up to reconnect the ball joint.
A little light reading for you

I know this will sound weird but I have done the following with good results in the past
Use a hair dryer to warm up the steel that the ball joint goes through. Make sure you shield the ball joint rubber etc
Hold a hammer against one side of the spindle, hit the other side of the spindle .
Or
Use a ball joint spreader.
Always leave the castle nut on the end of the threads , it will protect the threads as well as stop things flying apart.

35mm blocks will give I think about 50mm of lift.
As for the shackles be aware shackles are illegal in many states now and our springs arent the best to start with.
