you may want to double check or wait to see if someone corrects me, but i think you can swap in a set of '06 and newer rear leaf springs for a 6 inch lift. like i said, i could be wrong and if i am hopefully someone will correct me you could just check a local JY for them. and then as far as the shocks go... that i'm not sure of lol sorry man

hahahaha no. sorry man, my brain was moving faster than i was typing... it'd have to be off an f250 superduty. possibly an f350. but again i'm not positive. i know its mentioned in a couple threads here. i'll search through some after i get off work in the morning and see if i can find the specific one i saw it in.

hey it was 3 in the mornign when i found it!! haha i noticed it after i posted it and read through it again. i really thought that they had talked about leafsprings too. i posted up a question on the superduty portion of this forum and am just waiting for an answer. lol

i know a guy that took apart his rear leaves and one from a f250, an older one, and put in the shorter leaves and got a couple inches of lift out of it. trying to get a total of six inches would be rough, but if you got a couple more inches from just your springs you could run smaller blocks and have to worry less about axel wrap when we race when we get to school. lol

and as far as the shocks, i would google them alone without the blocks. i've seen some good deals on amazon before.

and sorry for the blonde moment
