    I was told it was a 3" lift

    I assume its a 3" spacer?

    With 3" blocks on the back?

    When measuring from ground at the center of wheels to the bottom of fender, the front is 37" and the rear is 39". Is that the normal difference(2") front to rear?

    I can't spend much money on the lift but what would you recommend to change? I've read that the blocks on the rear is not ideal, should I change the leaf pack or AAL?

    Thanks

    Jeff

    You are correct spacer and block. If you are off roading you could break a shock. If you are a pavement princess just watch out for pot holes. If you choose to stay the same look from some new bump stops.

    Most on here say adjustable 5100's and aal at a minimum. When I wear our my oem rubber I'm going 5100 @ 1.75 and a progressive aal out the back with 5100s.

    Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and get set up right the first time. Unless you're cheap like me buy the 5100s off jet.com with a coupon code and the aal from @Wheeler's Off-Road, Inc.

    Check my lift link it we'll help explain why you would want upgrade that front bump stop. Also for the front a good rule of thumb is take the top plate spacer thickness multiple by two to estimate the front lift amount.

    some may even go as far as saying that it raises the height of your truck.

    So I could remove the blocks on the rear and replace them with this to make it closer to level, correct? Are all Bilstien 5100's adjustable? And thats all I would need for the front to keep the front at the same height?

    Thanks

    A couple of you mentioned new bump stops, which ones and where is the best place to get them?

    Thanks
