    So I'm going to be puttin on a new leaf pack soon to get rid of my crappy 2" AAL and I'm needing some direction for my particular circumstance.. I got maxtracs up front with billies at .85... Right now my truck is maybe a Half inch nose high which I like (nothing more) my plan is too find a decent leaf pack that will give me a smoother ride about 1.5-2" lift so ill b able to crank my billies down to 0" again and get that same .5" higher or level I will b ok with... Also puttin on new uca's my stock joints are shot, and was wondering what way I could go with those, not a heavy offroader at all, this is DD 98% o the time... Any suggestions on products much appreciated

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Plenty of choices from Wheelers 5 leaf made by Alcans, Alcans 8 leaf, Deavers 10 leaf, All Pro Expos or OME Dakars. If you want it to flex then anyone w/o overload leaf. If you haul the Dakars or Wheelers are for you.

    The maybe settled 1/4" since last August. The ride is better. No axle warp. I got about 1.75" initially but now it's about 1.5" maybe a bit more.

    Light bar and bumper guard, 3/16 steel skid plates for engine, tranny and transfer box, OME 881 springs with 5100 shocks at mid clip. AAL in rear. Positraction rear diff.
    I did a Wheelers 5 leaf pack and the difference off road is night and day. I've heard good things about Deaver too.

    All pros give 3" that's too much for me... I've narrowed it down to alcans or deavers... May as well go big
