I used lift shackles but only needed 1" to raise the back to make the truck more level. Maybe go with some AALs that won't make it to stiff of a ride and put some lift shackles to compensate the rest .

You can always rearch the leaf pack. I've done it with good results, if don't carry a ton of weight all the time they won't flatten back out.

How do I rearch the leaf pack? Can u please explain in more detail, I haven't been doing suspension for very long. Can anyone tell me which one and where I can get a leaf pack? I started this thread thinking I needed AAL, but it ended up turning into me wanting lift blocks lol...anyways, def gonna get the lift shackles(I don't want to "flip shackle" cuz then I think u will see shackles hanging from the rear 😔 But I could be wrong...plz help me get the rear of my truck up 🙏

The safest way is to take them to a spring shop, have them put more arch in them. If you do the disassembly it should be fairly cheap. When I did it I used a Bobcat and carefully pushed them against a concrete wall to add more arch and had a friend standing way back to watch how much I bent them. Not the best way but it was the budget at the time. I got enough arch out of a 6 leaf pack that way to eliminate the factory block, it was an F150 4x4, and still end up with about 3" of lift. I was happy with the results and they never flattened back out, and that truck carried a load weekly hence the 6 leaves and E rated tires. I would highly recommend a re-arch over putting more block in it.

Would a set of traction bars help out with this problem?
I'm kind of leaning towards shackles and traction bars now.

Yes but they will be in the way off road. A better but more expensive option is ladder bars.

I like the tension/ladder bars, that seems like it would lift the rear perfectly. Only thing I don't like about them from the pics I have seen, is that they r very obvious(looks like the frame of the truck is hanging down)

With all that said, is there any tension/ladder bars for sale that have more of an "L" angle(bars that do t look so obvious under the truck)?

Oops, Ladder bars is what I meant.

Look into the lift shackles, their fairly easy to install. Takes about an hours a side if I can recall
