well ive already installed the 3'' coil spacer in the front a couple months ago and now that its all seated, ive noticed my rear end sits just slightly lower than the front.

i really hate the idea of stacking blocks as i do off-road alot, so ive been focusing on add-a-leafs.

but just recently ive seen rear lift sackles

it says its only 1/2'' lift in the rear but i was wondering what yall think,

for $60 its almost half the price ive seen for leafs, but im not sure if its gonna mess with the angle/location of my rear axle

do you think i should buy them? if not what have yall been running?

 

So they are shorter than the stock units? Wonder if they would cause trouble......

Something else to consider would be a shackle 'flip', but, that gets a LOT more than just an inch or two of lift. (4 to 8?)

Re-arched springs?

Add-a-leaf?

I agree with the sentiment to avoid stacking blocks though. That is a bad plan even if you DON'T off-road.

 

Yeah I was thinking it would also move my axle forward a little and change the angle of the rear pumpkin.

I was just wondering if anyone else has run them

 

I have not run those but i dont see why they wouldnt work. I stacked and welded my blocks and have not had a issue cause i keep my ubolts tight but wont say that i wont in time. I agree with the shackle flip kit. I have not seen one in person but from pictures they look like the work well.

 

a rear shackle lift would probably work, i know the 3rd gens have the shackles already flipped.

but this is my dd and i work 6 days a week so i cannot really afford any down time, and i figured a shorter shackle will only be 2 bolts to remove, versus having to drop the rear axle, disassemble the leaf pack, add a leaf and reassemble it.

and i only have a gravel drive way, pancake compressor, and simple hand tools, so welding blocks together and custom fabrication is kinda out of my hands until i go purchase a cheap stick welder from harbor freight and some $$$!

 

I see what your saying.

 

I've run add a leafs before and have had no problems what so ever. I've also stacked blocks in the rear and have had nothing happen. Stacking 2 blocks is fine but if you stack 3 or more you're looking for trouble. Those shackles look like a lot of work for only 1/2 of lift. I'd put a 1 inch block and call it a day.

 

I just put a 3 inch spacer on my 1500 and my back end is low too, I added an add a leaf, seems like a big process but its not, Honestly I would go that route, it took me one hour to put 2 add a leafs on. And let me tell you I usually am really slow, id say add a leafs man. If not that find a drill and a grinder flip the shackles drill new holes and put new bolts in.

 

Wow I didnt even realize I started this thread untill I read the op name! Lol

 

But I still havent done anything to the rear suspension yet, which brand did you go with for the aal?
how much lift did the say? How much lift actually did the lift your truck after settling? Price?
