You need to get leafs, one day your going to be gasing it and its going to start the axle rap and its going spit one of those blocks out. Take the front spacers out and sell it to me, I need them. Lol.

I still don't get why they say "lift height 6" " but yet the guy says it will only lift the truck 4". I mean if its only gonna lift it 4"s then list it as "lift height 4" " not 6".

I say go with the Skyjacker and use your factory 2" blocks. They also have a shim built in so you'll get the right angle.

You can get 6" springs from either Deaver or Atlas.

i dont know about where you live BUT...

we have a few custom spring shops here that will MAKE you leaf springs from scratch to exactly how you want...and our spring shops charge about the same as new leaf packs - but custom made to your own specs...

you dont necessarily need to get them from a lift company...

Deaver and Atlas will make you any spring height you want. You can get a 8" Atlas from topguncustomz for $660. And couple hundred bucks for shipping. Your probably looking at a grand, before shipping, for custom Deavers.
