    wait.... the ones i showed you were for the top plate. but you still should get those since your truck had 100 plus miles. you said you bought new struts right? they should come with an extra pair of bushings.

    GAH!! funds!! i know how that goes. Do you by chance happen to know how to tell the difference between left and right leaf springs? Also, you said you have a 4 leaf pack plus overload. is that stock??

    No, you are correct 3 leafs & a ridiculusly huge overload, fucker is about an inch thick...

    You can go to any pick a part or ecology auto for cheap leaf packs (about $40 ) they dont have to be ranger springs either, as long as the width is the same (most are 2.5" wide for most vehicles) & the relative thickness of the springs are close it can be ANY spring off ANY vehicle, mine just happened to be Ford springs is all, nothing special, i got 3" of true lift from the 2 I added (dumped the overloads) & I've recently had my truck loaded w/scrap metal (1/2 a ton to be exact) I offroad the shit out of my truck also & haven't lost any arc at all, still 3"

    If I put the Bilstein 5100 shocks at 2.5 and put a 2 inch add-a-leaf on the rear, what would my rake look like? Would the front be slightly higher than the rear? or would the rear be higher than the front? or would it be even?

    Well I've been looking at new leaf packs some are only for 95-97 others for 98-00. I wanted to get the allpro expo packs but it says they won't fit unless you cut and move the mounting. Even on wheelers it says the deaver gives you the options for a 98-04 and the alcan gives you options for 95-97 and 98-04
