    Ok so at some point in the future I'll eventually do a chevy 63 swap, but financially I can't at the moment. So id like to add a few things at a time to make it a little more budget friendly (and I'm also impatient haha).

    Ill be adding the 14" Bilstein shocks, But I see no point in getting a full leaf pack if I'll get rid of it anyways. Add-a-leafs are much cheaper and seem like a good temporary option just to get me by but my concern is if the shocks will be too long for an add-a-leaf?

    I don't want to cut off the shock towers and weld new ones, only to find out it doesn't fit :rofl:

    Thanks everyone! :hattip:

    You won't get the full potential (droop) out of the rear, but I don't see anything bad happening.

    Curious as to why you decided on the 63 swap. Function or doin it for the gram?

    Yeah I can't expect much from it.. as long as they fit, it'll be a work in progress kind of thing.
    Well I somewhat regret not buying a jeep, But the truck is staying so best of both worlds?? lol :thumbsup:

    But definitely not for the gram.. I suppose another option would be a used Dakar leaf pack.
