    Just as the title says, my leafs are shot and was looking at going with the expo pack and well theres a junk yard down the road so why not try and save 5 or 6 hundo right? The truck has weight on it and will be getting more when it can take it and a lift for bigger tires so i was gonna try and build the leaf pack to get as much lift out of it as i can so 1 ton i guess? But how much lift will I get and can my stock shocks handle that till i upgrade? Any help or insight would be great thanx guys!

    First, make sure that the specified leafs will work in our suspension. Second, you need new rear shocks with any amount of lift. And the amount of lift you get is determined by the arch of the leaves, the thickness of the leaves and how many of them there are. Best of luck!
