    I've got OME Nitrochargers with 885's and Dakar rear leaf springs. Even with 1 leaf removed from the Dakar's, the rear of the truck sits 2" higher than the front. Further, I've got a small drivetrain vibration I can't get rid of even with a carrier drop and axle shims.

    Driver Front - 22 1/4"
    Passenger Front - 22 7/8"
    Driver Rear - 24 7/8"
    Passenger Rear - 24 7/8"

    I've been looking at replacing the entire suspension, or just going to 887 springs in the front to help get things closer to level and change the angles slightly.

    I guess one other option would be to try to lower the rear instead of increasing the height of the front. Are there lower lift rear spring options out there (I assume the rear shocks have nothing to do with the height of the rear)?

    Put 400-500 lbs of weight in the bed as an experiment and see what, if anything, happens with your symptoms.
