    I want to replace my POS stock pack but I don't want to lift the rear too much. Any good packs that give minimal lift? I'm bit worries about load rating be use I have airbags.

    general spring HD packs... or a wheelers HD pack is probably your best bet.

    do you currently have the 2+1 or 3+1 leaf pack?

    Unless you don't tow/haul a lot then no need. I like peace of mind though..just MHO.

    Do not try to buy the TSB springs if it's coming out of your own pocket. $1700 parts and labor. Pretty sure the tech said something like $680/each side for parts! :eek:

    Long story, but my extended warranty is paying for them.

    I got told by dealer that the TSB leafs were already on my truck right before the warranty expired. I didn't know what to look for at the time but now I know they aren't on there.

    I took my truck to dealer complaining of harsh ride when hauling a load and they said it needs the TSB leafs but I'm out of warranty.

    The extended warranty company stepped up and are footing the bill for me.

    That's why.

    Lawls no.....

    Buddies 11 tx pro with the stock 2+1 leaf pack with all of 9k miles on it got a solid 4 in of lift out of the dakars... Minus the top overload was at 3.5 in of lift.... Those things are stiff as shit and the truck only road nice with 500 lbs in the bed.... He recently switched to an all pro packand is much happier .

    I do haul and occasionally tow, but like I said I have airbags already for that. Just need a good pack for daily driving that won't ride bad or lift the rear a bunch. My stock springs are ao worn out.
