    Noo, I just actually thought about it. The reason I don't like my truck right now, may seem stupid, which it is, is the fact that I can't stand it with the ghetto bro-lean and the tires just look small on it.

    Came to think about it how when I graduate, my parents are giving me $1,000..I can pick me up a set of duratracs and wheel spacers for that much. Since I got that, there's no need to sell the truck. :D

    Plus, told my parents that I didn't want to work 5 days a week in college, and they said they would help me out with the payments throughout it.

    So, the only way I'll end up selling the truck now, is if someone comes with the $21,900 i'm asking for it. If not, she stays with me:D

    Looking to level out my back.

    Just checked and saw that I only had 3 leafs, meaning the TSB is not done on my truck (i think? Supposed to be 4 leafs I believe)

    My back has a little bit of a bro-lean, and is about 1" lower than the front.

    What would be the best way for me to level it out/ most cost efficient?

    Any feedback is welcome, thanks!

    Also, haha. Back into spending money on my baby.
    I have 3" spacer lift in the front, if i were to buy a set of 5100s, would I need to remove the spacers and the 1500s would be able to do the 3" lift? Or what is their max lift that they can do?

    2.5 is max for 5100's. recommended to run them with ome springs or eibachs. I don't know about 5100's with a spacer lift but I wouldn't do it personally

    You could also go for shackles in the rear, that has got to be the cheapest right?

    I am pissed at the fact that my wheelers 5 leaf $600 FREAKIN DOLLAR springs only gave me a half inch of lift when advertised 1.5 inches.:mad:

    No, shackles meaning shackles.


    Its the bracket lookin things hanging off of your frame connected to the rear of your leaf springs. You could get longer ones. I have no clue if they affect ride or anything so you'll have to look into it.
