i would personally go with the 4 inch, they will be slightly less arched which will give you a little bit more up travel, then add a belltech 6400 drop shackle and that will give you almost 6 inches of lift... i think the 4 inchers will ride better than the sixers and arnt as stiff...

yeah... i already have the beltechs and pro-comp add-a-leafs with stock block... i want a lil more height in the rear since my t-bars are barely cranked. i may go with the 4 inchers since they are cheaper. i would like a little feed back on who has these leafs, to let me kno how they ride and handle paylload

Do the 6" ones and just ditch the block.

I'm running the 6"s. They work great for me, just need a some different shocks to get all the travel out of them.

I have an extra 6" spring, never been installed. I robbed a bushing out of it but I'm sure you could get a new bushing cheap. PM me and I'll cut you a deal.
