    I think its 4 leafs, i bought them as a kit with extended length struts which i can't find time to install. They lift the rear 2-1/2" over stock. I paid $615 for the kit from 4 wheel online w/ no shipping.

    Verry nice! I bet the leafs will settle a little over time! But Hows your front struts? my spacers I had made my shocks and springs sag, so I upgraded.
