Ok guys so theres a lot to choice from here
What do you think is the best?
Add-a-leaf (can only find a 2")
The RIDE CONTROL HELPERS (feel really iffy about those)?
Shackle Flip?
Any imputs?

I've also seen 2" lift shackles on fleabay. That with the combination of your 2" AAL would give you 4" as well. Don't know the cost comparison though.

In all honesty, I'm not seeing exactly how those ride helpers are going to lift your truck. To me, it looks like they'll just be doing the same a a helper spring on your pack, increasing your load capacity.

junior has a point though about the new shocks. But not just because of the kit. If you are going to raise your vehicle over 3" you are going to need longer shocks (in your case, just the rear two) to better suit the travel.

You cannot use the 3/4 ton blocks on your 1/2 ton because they are 3" wide vs. your springs/blocks being 2.5" wide. Your U-bolts would not go around the wider 3/4 ton block.

Your best option is the 4" add-a-leaf, or a BDS Shackle flip.
