Best way to lift my rear end 3"

After adding a snugpro, deep cycle, dive gear & carpet bed kit, my trucks rear end sits too low. Is there an easy & inexpensive way to lift my rear end afew inches? Pinion angle repercussions after 3"...?

 

One assumes you have the factory leaf springs - it is not so difficult to put in some new, stiffer leaf packs in your driveway with a jack, jackstands, and hand tools.

Prepare to do a lot of research on what springs will put your truck where you want it. If you've never done spring math before, you should consider weighing the truck (at a truck scale), removing everything you can that you normally drive with (Snugtop, etc), and weighing again to get the actual additional daily weight. That will let you do the spring math without guesstimating and inevitably getting more or less lift than you wanted.

If you do your research carefully, this is a job that can cost much less than you would expect ($4-500) and be done in an afternoon. Once you have an idea how how much weight is on there, if the math seems daunting, give @HeadStrong Off-Road a shout via e-mail.

If you just want to go with "good enough for most people most of the time" get the Dakkar mediums.

 

Yes factory everything. 4000 lbs, Id rather just stick some rubber blocks in somewhere?

 

Spacers are an option, but the truck will likely handle noticeable poorly, and the labor to put in spacers is probably 50% of replacing the leafs.

 

How do you not lose that thing if you park it in the woods?

if you always carry the same stuff back in there I’d definitely upgrade the springs, if it varies airbags might be a decent option

 

I just a see mountain and a field, what am I supposed to be looking at??

 

Squats, lots of squats.
Actually, I'd spring for new springs.

 

OP has a 5 lug.

I don't think there will be many options for a spring under setup that'll provide that much lift?

I would look at a leafpack for the required payload; you can get a leaf pack that provides lift but could squat once you add "xx" amount of weight bringing you back to where you are now.

In short, you're asking the wrong question.

 

Airbags is your best bet.

 

bought Icon RXT op3 used for $275-$300. Seen multiple used for that price. It lifted it about that much.
