I dont think they are 4" leafs...they are 3" leafs and with the removal of the block adds the other inch...could be wrong.

I dont think GF sells the leafs seperate, but MCG does

I've searched for the ground force leafs too but can't even find any used ones. Looks like I'm leaning towards the Mcgaughy leafs though. On a side note 054.8 silverado what 2/4 kit did u use? leafs or flip kit? Ride?

I talked to Tim on GMFS, and told me $400 shipped for the MCG 2" leafs (best deal I could find). He recommended 2" leafs because the 4" are too stiff.

This is the best deal I could find on a GF kit...several hundred less than everyone else.
