It will squat normal.. just the front will be level before it squats..or you could consider add a leafs or air bags for loads.

I plan to put some 285s on as soon as my bills are caught up. I might also get a set of Utra rims, such as the bully or crusher. New bed most likely this summer.

I mean, it's not bad. But it looks to me like you go more than 1.5" of lift in the front.

I take it you didn't measure before and after?

I did measure before but I did not write it down. Also, I had a broken spring on the front. So with the extension I also put in new quick struts, and the rear has the original 200K springs which is most likely the reason the front is higher.

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't one of the most common mods a 2.5" leveller in the front, and 3" inch block in place of the stock 2" block in the rear?

I believe so, but I went 1.5" in the front. I did not want to go too high as if I add bigger tires I still want to park in the garage.

You would think that would give you same rake (+1.5" in front on stock 2" rear) as +2.5" front and +1" rear.... both would net you +1.5" front lift.

Perhaps the leaf springs are sagging.. but by that much?

Regardless, you can just replace the stock 2" blocks on the rear with 3" and problem solved.

He didn't want that much rake. We've already discussed the different block options on the first page.

Not when the whole issue is the rear is sagging more than it normally does... the extra 1/2" (or a 1/4" with 2.5" blocks) would simply compensate for the sag.

The other alternative would be to take the 1.5" spacers out of the front and replace them with 1" (https://goo.gl/4Bvs8m) to keep the front from being higher than the rear.

Or I suppose he could just leave it the way it is and hope the front sags down after awhile...
