hey all, i have a stock 2001 ex-cab 3.0l v6. im thinking of ways to soften up the rear suspention.

the current plan is a 2 inch shackle lift, 2 inch block lift, and removing a few leaf springs...

thoughts? suggestions? comments? let me know!! also interested if anyone know of a 3 inch rear shackle kit..... as im lifting the front five inches

 

What are you doing in the front to give it 5 inches?

 

Its a truck why would you remove leafs. Is it a stock 2001 with the stock or cheap shocks? I would put money those are the ride issues long before I started pulling leafs. I assume by the original post its a 2wd? Either way I would bet you have a stock 2+1 or 3+1 pack since its a 3.0L I don't know what leafs you plan on pulling...overall I rate as a dumb idea. Shackles and blocks sound fine in your case make sure you get some decent shocks. There won't be a 3" shackle because it would be stupidly long and be unsafe. Good luck with your build google around and read some stickies on various forums.

 

i'm going to run the camburg 5.5 kit

and cdawall thank for the input ill be sure to keep my leafs then! i will be running bilstein 5100', front and rear
