Default 2000 t/s lift

I did the t/s lift on my durango awhile back, and i just saw another on the road that was taller than mine with the lift. his leaf springs we more curved. mine when i put it on it basically flattened them out and didn't lift it too much. I'm not sure if he had any other mods to it i just want to see if anyone else has had this happen to their truck when they did it and if it's normal. Thanks

need more ground clearance for wheeling haha. I saw it in the parking lot at college and looked at it, he's got five leafs where i only have 3. so i'm assuming thats how he got his lift. now i just have to find add a leafs. i'm not sure if the more leafs came with the tow package or not.

The axle is on top of the springs so blocks would actually lower it.

yeah i just realized that when i bought them. i thought **** i have leaf unders. went right back in and returned them. Does anyone know how to get more lift out of it thats cheap? no money because of college and our 4x4 club is going to Rausch creek next month and i want to at least be able to do something. My leafs are really flat with the shackles so i think i might go to a u pull it and get some. don't have the money for new ones right now

I just realized you said you only have 3 leaf springs; are you sure about that? I'm fairly sure mine are 5 leaf stock and I'm pretty sure that's what yours should be too.
