what the easiest way to get a few inches of lift in the rear?
would i have to remove the whole spring set-up to do this?

* may truck does not look leveled - the front looks higher
i do have 150 lbs of sand iin the rear though*

 

Spacers or blocks - just have to disconnect the bottom bolts on your shocks to install them

 

blocks or add-a-leaf

 

blocks=easier

add a leaf=more functional

when i do mine it will deff be gettin the extra leaf, mainly because it will increase the payload. im sure not by much, but hey every little bit helps...

 

Pretty much agree with above. Though the add-a-leaf will ride rough as hell. I did that when I had my 96 Ram SCLB-3" front level with the add a leaf, increased the **** out of my payload but rode like a damn tank.

 

If you have a z71 you likely already have lift blocks in it so if you want it level you can:
A: Add a leaf
B: Get a bigger block
C: Decrank the front torction bars
D: Take 150lbs of sand out of your truck.

I don't see how 150lbs is making your truck drop that much but if it is then once you take it out your rearend will be higher than the front so you'll be undoing what you did.

Just add some air bags to level it out with a load.

 

Will an Add-A-Leaf automaticly make the ride stiffer?
* i have some nice Billstiens and made my ride nice
* how will a extra leaf make my ride like a TANK^

 

The long add-a-leaf's tend to ride better than the short ones but will not offer the same load increase as the short..
