Need Help With Final Decision On My Small Lift
Well I been messaging a few of you guys about my lift questions and thanks for the help so far but i have a few more questions. I don't have the money for a suspension/body lift right now so I'm going the cheaper way with spacers/blocks. Sorry I'm new to lifting so here goes..
Here's my choice for the front which is Hellbent spacers and they come with comes with an anti-sway bar drop bracket.

I also found this kit on ebay but it don't come with a drop bracket but it does come with some shock mount extenders.

And for the back, I'm unsure if i want to stack blocks and buy a kit off ebay or get bigger blocks. I don't go offroad unless I'm just going back dirt roads that might have some bumps on. Here's some stuff i found:
This comes with a 3 inch block. I know the stock block is 3 inches so that would be 6 inches total in the back with the 2.5 inch spacers on front. Would that look alright? I want it to look pretty level, but i do want my rear up 1-2 inches higher because i haul my fourwheeler alot.

Here's 2 inch blocks. Would 5 or 6 inches total look good and allow the back to be only 1-2 inches taller than the front when the spacers are put on?

Here's an add-a-leaf kit but i been told they make the ride alittle rougher?

What do guys think i should do between my choices here? And is the shock extenders and drop brackets necessary when lifting the truck only 2-3 inches in the front and getting bigger blocks on the rear? I don't wanna pay 60-70 more for the spacer kit if i don't need them.

The only thing you need is the 2.5" spacers, sway bar brackets are unnecessary. You shouldn't need anything for the back unless your leaf springs have been worked hard and are sagging. If this is the case then add a leafs (1-2") are the best option. They cost as much as blocks maybe a bit more but are much safer.
My truck still sits low in the front with 2" HBS spacers and stock components in the back

I guess I'm going with the 2.5 inch hellbent spacers for the front. I think I'm going to go ahead and get the brackets just for reliability/safety reasons i guess. And for the back, i still need to find 5 inch blocks somewhere. I found 4.5 inch blocks but i think their the stacking blocks.

i would never stack blocks our trucks come stock with a 3" block adding another block especially the square ones with no pitch or angle to them they throw pinion angle off...do the spacers in front first....see how it sits if you want more lift in back the do the aal....you get more payload and a little lift (around 2"). thats just my 2 cents....i am no expert but i do have alot of lift experience lol
