    I just said "yes" lol. sure there are better ways. spindle source on ebay if your really "frugal", the spindles aren't Maxtrac. They have different package options for components you want.

    Exactly what i am thinking. I am having a hard time deciding between 5100's and new springs, 5100's and compressing the sport springs, or just using a top spacer. Same problem with the back an 5100 with and ALL or a block. All my truck sees is pavement and i am looking for a good ride when i put on my AT tires.

    I have 4" spindles up front with adjustable bilsteins and stock coils set at 2.5" so 6.5" up front total.

    Why would the leafs preform any different with a 1 or 1.5 block. Everyone says this but i my engineer brain :)rofl:) doesn't comprehend the ride quality change.

    One thing I will say is, a good buddy of mine did a 3" lift recently, and went with Add A Leaf and said his ride is way rougher than when he had blocks...

    I bet he did a single aal. Progressive aal is the only aal I'll ever run
