    Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

    I have a 95.5 with the v6 with a 195K on the clock and what I have to assume is the stock suspension which def needs an upgrade. My current rear leafs sag a little and I want to replace them rather than add a leaf when I do the suspension upgrade. Here is my question. I found some Pro Comp 3.5" rear leafs (part number 33211) that only run $110 ea with poly bushings included and I def want to use them. Has one ever used these on their truck, if so what's the experience been like and also what type of set up did you use on the front I was planning on using OME 881's with Bilstien 5100's but I do not know if that combination is going to match the 3.5 lift that comes with the springs in the rear. I dont mind if the truck is not perfectly level but I dont want it to look like the back is substantially higher either.

    Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If you are lifting the rear 3.5 inches I would lift the front 4-6. There is a stock rake of about 2 inches, and OMEs or Billies are going to get you 2.5 to 3 inches in the front, which I think would look like a 72 Ford Grand Torino in the end.

    We have quality replacement Made in USA Leaf springs available for your truck that provide 1.5" of lift to go with about 2.5-3" of lift up front.

    Thanks for the replies gents, I had a feeling that would be the case and have obviously read a bit about the quality of the Wheelers products. I was attracted to these soley because of the low price and figured I would see the consensus. Def not interested in raising the front 6" so I guess I better start saving. Thanks again for the replies.
