    Which replacement leaf pack is the best choice for you depends on how you will be using your truck and how much lift you are looking for. More info about that will help us help you.

    Haha...not doing it...can't make me!
    ^What he said...if you have no other drastic modifications in the near future, stick with a lift that has been proven and works. That specific application seems a little specialized, I think you will be OK going with the bandwagon on this.

    I'm running the alcan 8 leaf spring pack. Very happy. But I can tell you that by themselves they will not give you 3", 2" maybe.

    Alcan and deaver are both very flexy, but do not support weight worth a shit.

    i have heard great things about them. Give a big lift too and as suppose to hold up to 400 additional pounds be for them sag down when you are under load. Im not sure how they flex tho.

    check out Jlees build, he got them and loves them as far as i know

    I would disagree about the deavers, i drove across california and arizona with my 600 pound quad in the back and they handled the load surprisingly well. I never bottomed out, in fact the rear drove like a caddy, really smooth. cant speak though for the alcans..
