    So I totally trashed my leaf springs using my truck as a truck. (Towing with bed weight). My mechanic sourced some heavier springs with an extra leaf from a local spring fabrication house and I really like how high the back end is sitting now. On top of that, last week I replaced the tires with a set of general grabber AT/x 265/75r16. Thus adding a little more height to the truck but really filling up the front wheel wells.

    I always thought I would eventually add a small lift to my truck but now I don't know if the rear even needs it. I live on the east coast (PA) and really don't get onto any heavy off roading, but I do like having more capability.

    I do plan on getting some air bags to the rear for same added insurance because I do use this truck to tow.

    Anybody have thought? Front and rear? Just the front?20211020_141950.jpg 20211020_142048.jpg 20211011_144645.jpg 20211011_155212.jpg

    Find a set of takeoffs from a 3rd Gen and call it a day.
    That'll give you an inch up front. You don't need much.

    Bucktails,

    3rd gens have a factory lift? Is it just the pro model?
