    okay, thank you for the info! I think ill go with 111s, and if its too rough/rigid on my typical drivings, ill eventually take out 1 of the leafs until I need it for a trip. that does seem like the best fit. my friend does that with his ICON Rxt Leaf packs. and copy on the the U-bolts, ill be sure to get those are well. one last thing I wanted to ask- if i'm running the Bilstein 5100 shocks front and back, would the 111s be too high/tall and make those over-extend? I bought those shocks about 6 months ago and replaced when before my leaf springs failed, so im hoping to not need to replace good shocks too. the front shocks are adjustable, and I have them paired with the Eibach pro coils. the rear are not adjustable and I think permit 0-2.225" of travel or maybe just 0-2" if memory serves me right.

    The rear shocks may be a fraction short, but as long as they're good for 2" of lift, they'll be ok with 2.25-2.5", you'll just want to verify their specs before hand. Otherwise you may have to run the 110's so that you don't lift it beyond 2". Some Bilsteins are pretty short, and they sell a few different lengths of them for the rear.
