    Shocks don't lift the rear. You need an AAL or new leaf pack

    If I understand correctly, you will need 1.5" lift in the rear to accomodate your 2.5" lift in the front. That should have your truck sit level. That's how it was explained to me....but, I'm still learning about this myself. I'm currently trying to decide on a leaf pack for my rig so I can have the same lift height myself...pita

    Well how much lift do you want? I went with a Wheelers 3 leaf HD, and it gave me about 1.5".

    I'm going to go for a full 3" in the front so I guess that's a 2" in lift in the back to level it out correct

    Do you tow or haul much? What kind of offroading are you going to be doing?

    Ulyssis, since youre a double cab LONG BED, the figures that are typically advertised may not necessarily apply. Id remove 1/2" to a full inch off the advertised number.
    Maybe you should hit up Doug (4wd I think is his username), he makes custom leaf packs and from all the great reviews ive heard I may hit him up soon too.

    I dont haul much brother a pair of jet skis a kayack and some bikes.
    I dont really mind paying for something I might not be using now. My truck is pretty new I will love to do some offroading later down the road.
