I understand that... but I was hoping to slowly work the lifts... like to be honest... 2-3in body lift... 6in superlift.... and possibly throwing some blocks on the back... and maybe extra tbar cranks... but the tbar crank is kinda the last ditch effort... I was hoping to see up to 9-12in of lift...

 

3" BL, 6" SL, 1.5" torison...10.5" ??

 

2in body lift...
6in suspension lift...
3-5in blocks between suspension and frame.... saw a few kits... need to find them again...

thats 13in lift....

 

That'd be cool, but I have one question. If you put 3-5" of blocks with the 6"SL, would you need shocks from a 9-11" kit?

 

Hang on, what blocks are you refering to? Sounds like you'll be needing to flip the differential to the lower side of the leaf springs, and I'm pretty sure complications can arise from this. I'd get Kyle's input on on this matter. Usually blocks are used to lower a truck.

 

My first thought!

Blocks in the suspension should be a last resort kind of lift. Given the stock axle over spring configuration, blocks would serve to lower your truck. If you do a SOA (spring over axle) flip, you will be lifting it by ~4" right off the bat and then need to find a way to get the front up. The 5-6" kits available do a SOA with an additional 1-2" in the rear springs while providing the drop brackets for the front diff and suspension.

If it were me and I was worried that the springs were sagging in the rear, I would remove them and have them re-arched. It is not an expensive proposition and you'll likely be able to find a local spring shop that is capable of doing the work. It will not provide a ton of lift so if that is what you are after, then this is not the complete answer...

Is this thread about sagging and how to fix it back to stock or about lifting??

 

It was about sagging and then slowly morphed to the lift....
