    3" lift with Cought Country
    Thanks for the welcome. Not sure how to do this but her goes, I put a Rough Country 3 inch lift,
    New back shocks, and blocks, U Bolts, new nuts / Front blocks over shocks. Now the Leaf Springs are flat with no weight. Best way to fix

    Welcome!

    Your mistake was rough country. I'd gut that and go with another setup, check out @HeadStrong Off-Road , they've been great to us here, Marie knows her stuff. 6112s, 5100s with OME coils, etc. new leaf pack and should be good to go. They'll get you squared away.
