Lift kit! Finally!
So for $200 I got this get up.
Axle pivot drops
pitman arm
radius arm drops
4" lift coils
front shocks
So currently I am looking for a good setup for the rear. Any suggestions for 2-3" of lift? leafs? Shackles? blocks? etc.
Also could i put a 2" coil spacers underneath to get it to a 6" lift and call it a day with just an alignment?
let me know!

If it was me id buy a 2 inch rear block kit off ebay and call it good. An unless somone tells you no on the spacers thats what im going to do. Down the road i want to get a six inch lift and put the front coils on the spacers i already have. That way its 8 inches in the front and 6 in the rear.

As for the back just throw a block in it.
Guys are always yapping about axle rap..blah..blah..blah.
But the fact is if your leaf springs aren't wore out and your truck is not for extreme off road use and stock hp levels your not going to notice more axle rap from a few inch taller block then your factory 2".
If you can I highly recommend my setup. I have 03 super duty leaf packs in the rear and with a factory 2" block it levels the truck with 6"s of lift in the front.
I have 4" blocks in right now For some rake for when I have my 1000 pound welder in the bed.
