you can use spring clamps for another 1", i hear it rides stiff

flip kit witih hangers is really only option.

leaf springs are expensive and the only good ones are made by ground force, and they aint cheap.

Then just get the leaf springs from ground force, easy install and will still ride good.

My Ground Force leafs springs ride pretty good, at least better than other dropped trucks i've rode on.

stock with upgraded shocks is probably your best ride.

yeah i was half asleep man, after i woke back up i realized i didnt think it too far out. an skipperdaddy pickin on me lol


stock leafs with different shocks wont lower my truck any.
i was looking at hangers but they are welded onto the truck not bolted in like they use to be.

imma look into a custom hanger thats longer an just live with it being level

You ever tow anything? If so, don't get drop leaves.

Flip kit with lift shackles would be your best option.

if you want a better ride, a hanger is not your fix. seriously...flip kit and lift shackles. stock ride with 5" drop.

my flip kit sits perfectly level with my 3" front drop springs with the rollpan.
