    So I already posted this thread in the suspension forum but only one person replied....so I figured i'd post it on the 2nd gen forum as well. I recently got a 6 inch lift from Rough Country and I'm kinda in a pickle. I'm happy with the front end work done by rough country, but the block lift on the leaf springs suck. It doesnt help that the factory leaf springs cant hold weight either! So what im trying to get to is what do you guys suggest for a 6 inch lift for the rear? Should i get new leaf springs and keep he block? Or should i get springs that have the lift so i wont need a block lift? Or anything else but this crappy thing. Here is a picture of the leafs with the block, it just makes me feel uncomfortable the way they sit.

    I would get new leafs. Contact Alcan and they will hook you up with a custom leaf pack for a 6" lift.
