    Ben how much do you guys charge to help me out with a small lift? I put a shell on the back and I would like to level it/ lift it maybe 1.5-2 inches with possible sliders

    Too many to list now.
    Depends on what lift you want, thinking AAL or a new leaf pack or blocks? Whats your budget?

    Either AAL or a new leaf pack I think. Looking to stay around 800-900 for the lift. Want it to be able to handle extra weight of stuff in the bed/sliders. I'm not planning on swapping bumpers.

    Isn't that going to add closer to 3 inches of lift?

    Yes it is, you don't wanna level your truck. Awful decision in my opinion, yes it'll look good initially but the second you add weight to the bed it's gonna sag like a mofo. And the ride quality is terrible. My advice is to lift everything thing up the same and spend a little more and do it right the first time.

    I'm at almost level right now with just a shell on the back. Is there an average weight added to height lost ratio?

    I couldn't tell ya, I'm just trying to keep people from making the same mistake I did when I leveled mine a couple years back.

    All depends on how much weight you plan on putting in there too. Russell has a pretty hefty bed rack with an RTT. That def requires heavier springs.
