I copied it to my computer and looked at it at 50%. Great stance on your truck!

moregrip.....the truck ain't level (it's about 2-3" higher in the back....the pics I sent you make it look level)

BLK6.0HD....how bad was the axle wrap ???....I plan on adding ladder bars so that should take care of the wrap the same as a 4-link, Also...how is the ride compared to stock ???

The axle wrap was really bad, but the ride is way better. If your going to do a ladder bar setup it will be fine. I also put low profile bump stops on the frame, so it doesnt bottom out on the road.

I wonder if someone might measure eye to eye on a 1/2 ton spring pack!

that might be a safer way to go if that distance is the same as your 2500.

Both packs are the same length. I have used both hd and 1/2 packs in the back of toyotas for rock crawling.

wow, good news.

yelo, IMHO this might be the better way to go for saftey, and if these velvet-ride shackles don't improve my ride like I hope they will I just might go that route myself.

One thing I do know is that all the torsion bars are the same length/pattern. Only difference being their LB ratings. I might go to the next lower # to improve front ride quality too. But as it stands now I think most of the freeway bounce I get is due to the 3/4 ton spring pack.

sorry, I guess thats not really related to lowering your rear.

maybe some lowering shackles too.
