i just paid for the tuff country 2" add a leafs from topguncustomz yesterday so i don't have them yet. they were 59.95 through ebay and originally 64 on their website.
since you went with the 2" then you'll probably need a 1" add a leaf to make your truck level.
go ahead and measure though, the picture may be deceiving on the height difference from front to rear.

Thanks Sheriff, I'm gonna check that out.

Were they the short add-a-leafs or the full length ones? Did the pins and U-bolts come with them, or do I need to get them separately? Actually do I even need longer U-bolts for that amount of lift?

what add a leafs do is re-arch your factory leafs. and they are only about 1/4" thick so the only thing you need is the new center pin which they come with.

if your leaf springs are really worn out then you won't get as much lift as you would if you had good springs. the 2" springs will give you 2" if you have good leafs to begin with. and if they are worn out pretty good then you'll only get about 1 1/2".

to install them you take your leaf pack apart and put the add a leaf in between the one that is longer and the one that is shorter.

Okay, awesome. One more for ya...
Do you see any difference between this...

and this...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SJA-R222/Application/?query=Year|1996|Make|DODGE|Model|RAM+1500+PICKUP& prefilter=1

That would make them worth $50 more? I don't, but I just want to make sure.

i got the tuff country. 59.95 vs 80 something for skyjacker.
i saw the pro comp, but for that price i would assume that they are inferior and wouldn't take long to flatten out.
