    Lets say hypothetically i have a 1" add a leaf lift and a 2" spring lift, does that end up being a 3 inch rear lift or does it not work that way? Thanks in advance

    Rear shocks provide 0 lift, they only control (dampen) the leafs. Lift in the rear is from thicker leafs, blocks &/or longer shackles.

    Shocks in the rear won't give you any lift... If you wanted to go with a add a leaf plus a block (blocks not really recommended) then the lifts would add up. I'd recommend shackles before blocks...

    When it says "1.5" lift" referring to rear shocks, that's basically saying that it's a longer shock that can be run with up to 1.5" of lift. The shocks themselves don't provide the lift.

    Think of it as what they can accomodate, not provide.

    With 4" Maxtracs up front & 2" AAL in the rear those shocks will be perfect for a budget. Your prior post you said 5160 shocks which are an upgrade to 5100's but as long as what you buy accomodates 0-2" you'll be fine with an AAL. Probably sit damn near level with 4"/2".

    Edit to add: new posts poppin up quick. If you have extra pesos a new leaf pack is a great investment. OME Dakar or AllPro are the big names, the AllPro Expo pack is for frequent heavy loads. Let your credit card decide for you!

    thats what im thinking, because i have a 3" spacer on right now to "level it":help: but its 1" higher in the front. so a 2" difference between the front and rear i think will be great. :fingerscrossed:
