    IMO it must be one hell of a dive going towards the front to cause this much trouble for it. I surely wouldn't think about running a bunch of weight and causing all the long term issues that end up just to fix it's looks a little.

    Let's see a pic, maybe it's only an issue you see.

    When I still drove my 2wd PreTaco in winter I filled the spare tire wheel with concrete. I put a cardboard tube from a roll of carpet in the center hole so I could still put it in the normal spot, lined wheel with plastic & filled it with concrete. Not a lot of extra weight but it helped in snow.

    Just start dating a fatty and force her to ride in the bed. Although the additional cost of feeding her may be prohibitive.

    Not sure. Need tosave up. And with new baby and holidays around corner my guess is next year maybe. That's why I was looking at this. Didn't know I'd stir up so much commotion.

    Already looks a bit nose high to me... :notsure:

    No, why would you want to conceal several beautiful women riding in the bed of the truck? It'd be like the most popular parade float!

    Why don't you take the 3" block out and put a 2" or whatever levels it. Sounds like an easy fix and wouldn't take long to do. That's what I would do.

    Intend on removing 3" block and add a lead and putting in all pro3" leads but I'm saving up. So I was looking for easy fix for now so I wouldn't be dumping a ton of money in it.

    Isn't a 2" block set like less that $30? How cheap do you want? Can't get much easier. All the work your going to do hiding weight and all that you could do the block and be drinking a beer enjoying that your done.

    Stance looks perfect in that pic. You don't have as much rake as stock and the bed rails appear to be pretty damn close to level. To me, if you actually measure level as in the same height between the hub and the fender, it actually appears nose high because of how the fenders are cut. I think you have a nice stance and if you plan on getting a new leaf pack anyways, leave it alone.
