Get an add-a-leaf. Add a little arch to the spring, lift the back end up a little. Your local spring shop should be able to help you. Just let them see your truck, tell them how much higher you want the rear to sit, and BAM!! You're all set.

Can always date a fat bitch and put her in front seat. Gotta get good 4 or 500 pounder to do it right. Just be sure to put her in the middle seat. If not you be ridin low and tiltin the ride.


Spring shop is the best guaranteed bet..

really? what do they do just bend the spring alittle? I just threw my tires on my buddies truck and he is a 3.5/4 drop and he looked like he could go down another 3 inchs with out getting into the finder so a 3/5 on my truck might clear them i am just scared to do the kit and they not fit

Yes, it would add arch to the spring. A good spring shop will know what to do for you. It's easy stuff.

Usually, re-arching the stock springs will work for a while, but eventually they sag back to their original shape. Or sometimes even less. Springs have memory.
