want some rear end lift
 

hey everyone, I am wanting to lift my rear end a little bit. Maybe 3 or 4 inches? I am at stock height and my rear end is about even with the front of the truck or maybe a little bit lower. I would like for the rear end to be a little higher than the front. I have been reading and I saw there are 4 inch skyjacker leafs. Do you think that would be too much on a stock truck? I also read about add a leafs and shackles. Any opinions? I dont really have any plans for suspension lift in the future, just a body lift.

here is a picture of my truck.

Id do shackles. They dont cost too much.

from what i read that will give me 1-2? correct?

yup yup max 2 inches with the drop shackles. Prolly lookin at about 1.5" or so

alright cool.

do add a leaf. I did it, it lifts about 3 inches, and also improves your payload capacity. I did that and cranked my torsion bars and I love it.

do u have a picture of your truck with the add a leafs?

thanks sully, haha that was when u had both tail pipes lol.

haha! yeah yeah, me and Freddie hacked em off not too long ago, alot louder now!

right on.

Why do you want the rear so much higher than the front?

cause thats how a truck is made to be, so you dont look like your taking off every time you put a 2x4 in the back. Its not that much higher, but his is lower in the back right now.

you should be banished for having a name so similar to mine. :fing26:

at the time i had never seen your name so i thought it was a good idea. and to answer above post, my rear is lower or even with front and being a drag guy, i think the rear needs to be up higher on cars and esp trucks.
