need input on rear leaf fix

Hey all, so I need some input on this. I ordered some alcan leafs from wheelers, they were suppose to lift my truck around 1.75 to 2" (and actual lift depends on a lot of things which I completely understand) After the install, the leafs did not lift my truck, it remained at stock height. I am talking with wheelers right now, and they have been quick at responding and working with me on this, so far I have no complaints against them, I dont intend for this thread to be negative towards them. I have been offered blocks or they could contact alcan and they might replace the lower 3 leafs (going from 7mm thickness per leaf to 8mm thickness per leaf). This could/would firm up the ride, and since I dont carry much in my bed I am a little afraid of firming up the rear.

I do actually offroad, and my goal was to lift my truck about 2 inches front and rear, just a good quality and functional lift.

What do you guys think? I am a little leery of the blocks because I know people usually do those for looks rather than good offroad performance, and I am also afraid of making the ride stiffer in the rear by adding thicker leafs.

any input would be awesome!

 

self bump!

 

If alcan will give you new leafs, I'd swap them out. They probably will be stiffer but if you off road and flex them out, they'll loosen up. I wouldn't go for the blocks.

 

Yea I responded to wheelers saying I would rather work with Alcan and replace a few of the leafs from the pack or something. Thanks for the responses!
