    Ok so my buddy ordered the 2.5 spacer and said he didnt think I wil have to have a block or aal? I said im pretty sure it will sit way to high in the fron and he said if it does he'll just order a 2 in rear lift. Do you guys think im right in saying it will sit to high?

    I think that if you raise the front 2.5 inches you should raise the rear a little. I like my 2 inch lift but you might like a 1 or 1.5 inch lift.

    I want the rear to sit flush or close to with the front. Does you 2 inch rear sit a little higher?

    then go with a 2.5 rear block/shackle/AAL my 1.5 block runs perfectly run, not rough at all but a 2.5 you might wanna go aal or shackle if your worried about keeping the price down.

    yes, its just a different method for lifting it, instead of a block lifting at the middle of the leaf spring (where the leaf crosses the axle) it lifts each end of the leaf where the bed mounting point is on the leaf spring, but same end result.

    Ya I think im gona do a 1.5 aal. Or a 1 in block, its not off that much the driveway pic exagerates the lean. But it definently needs something in the rear.
