Ha your truck pulls it off. But the guy driving down the road with giant tires and their frame only 7" off the ground, it just don't look quite right.

How are you going to have "giant tires" with a two inch BL? The purpose of a body lift it to make room for bigger tires. And spending the 1800-2000 dollars on a 5 inch suspension lift that really does no more for you off road than allow room for larger tires and increase your ground clearance a few inches is very unpractical in my opinion. No offense to anyone who has a suspension lift. But i would take that money and sas. I have a 2inch bl and a slight torsion twist with shackles in the rear with 31's for now. Perfect lift for a DD on a budget.

I wouldn't flip the leaf spring. Try an add a leaf to level it out if its the rear. Find a level spot and take some frame measurements to see where you stand with the height. Also check your torsion mount bushings. I replaced mine after 217xxx miles and they were horrible. Put the new moog ones in took about an hour and the truck handles better and actually sits more level.

i took measurements of the bumpers cause it was the easiest but there really isnt anywhere thats level in the blue ridge mountains. my bushings are probly dry rotted everything is rusty cause my truck was originally purchased in ny. how much will replacements set me back?
