I have coil-over shocks in the rear and different torsion keys in the from to level it out. Also, tires that are 2 sizes bigger. You could also look into an add-a-leaf kit.

Ok, so you have a basic shock that is made with an overload spring.


I thought you meant you had actual coilovers in the rear.

Yeah. Now that I think about it, the definition of coil-over doesn't fit. So, yes, I have stronger shocks that lift the ****-end of my truck. It's a cheap way to lift your truck. The previous owner installed them. I'm waiting for my tax returns to do something different.
