1 inch in rear?
My rear end is sagging a little bit and I decided to jack up the back end. I got the rear bumper about an inch off the ground and I really liked the way it looked. So my question is, are there add-a-leafs out there that let me bring my truck up only about an 1"-1 1/2"?? Thanks

There are add-a-leafs for our vehicles or you can get a pair of 2" shackles. There is a posting about them in here. A 2" rear lift shackle will raise the rear 1" because you're only extending half of the leaf.

Nope 2 inch lift shackles do lift the rear 2 inches
every inch is a 1/2 inch lift
so stock shackles are 4 inches between holes so 2 inch lift shackes are 8 inches between holes
every inch is a 1/2 inch lift
so stock shackles are 4 inches between holes so 2 inch lift shackes are 8 inches between holes

Well, My leaf springs are pretty flatline. So would I be better off going for the shackles or the add-a-leaf?

But the math is right because you're only lifting 1/2 the leaf... I need coffee

add a leaf i think thats the best way to go just in case you wanna lift it in the future you have the shackle option still

Just my 2 bits, but you need to keep in mind that if you do an add-a-leaf that it will make the ride in the rear stiffer, affecting ride quality. Which lift you pick really depends on what you're looking to get out of it. If you carry a load or pull a trailer then the add-a-leaf will be nice to keep your truck level, but it makes it stiffer in the rear when not carrying the extra weight. If you really like the soft cushy ride of the factory suspension then maybe new shackles is where you want to look since it keeps factory ride quality.

Its odd, some days it looks bad like in the pictures, and some days it looks good. Like today, it looked nice and even. I wish I could've gotten a picture when I dropped it off at the shop today but it was too dark.

remember its the way the truck sits on the pavement or any other terrain
it might look like its not level but its level alright
it might look like its not level but its level alright
