Ideal rear lift
#2
Depends on what you want. If you want cheap but no stacked blocks whtn I would say belltech 6400 shackles paired with either explorer or chevy 63" leaves from a half ton. If you want to spend a little more you can get some new 6" lift leaf packs and get rid of your stock block also. If you want to spend a lot four link that bioch with king coilovers lol.
Some will say use AALs but unless you haul/tow daily I would stay away from that because it makes the ride pretty stiff, ask me how I know lol.

There's not really anything wrong with running the stock block, shackles, and an AAL but with the AAL you'll have a very rough ride in the back. You have to think of it this way, the rear ends of our trucks are very light. Add a stiffer spring in there and you have more of a rough ride and also a bouncy ride when it comes to things like rough roads and what not. If I were to lift my truck tomorrow I would just spend the extra money and get the lift springs. They're worth the time and money in my opinion.

It's better than stacked blocks for sure but I would recommend using either xploder or chev 63" leaves instead of the aal. Tou can get them all for about the same price $50-$75, plus the shackles at about $50. So it only takes about $100 to lift the rear the right way instead of stacking blocks. 6" springs are nice but are closer to the $300-$400 range IIRC.

If anyone can help me i'd appreciate it

or I got mine at summit the only thing that didnt fit for me was the front bolts, you need one size smaller to fit threw the front bushings

For the 63" leafs you do have to move the front hangers forward 6". It's not too hard though, you can use the two front holes on the frame for the two back holes to ensure that you get then perfectly straight and exactly 6" forward. Explorer leafs you don't have to move the spring hangers. The longer leafs give a smoother ride and better flex though.
