Apparently I was wrong. The rear block is stock on it but if that's the case the then the truck was really low up front cause it has a 2" spacer. I bought a 2 1/2" spacer thinking the one already there was stock and when I took it out it was a 2" spacer so I need to know what I need to make it level. The way it sits now it's 9" between the top of the tire and fender up front and 12" in back and with it already having a 2" spacer that means I would have to switch out for a 5" and that don't sound good. And on the other hand I just changed the shocks out and the rear shocks I put in are factory and they r fully extended just to bolt to the bracket. I'm not real familiar with stock specs on a 4wd but I'm learning lil by lil so I'm not sure what to do. I'm a DIY person. And don't want to go to the shop.

 

My truck went to about 1/2" shy of level (1/2" lower in front than rear) when I upgraded my coil springs. Less than two hundred bucks delivered, got 'em here. No spacers required, and the progression on them is really nice. I only drove a few miles on them before hanging a 265 pound aftermarket bumper out front, though, so it's possible they'd have proven a bit tight without it. But then again, maybe not.

On the other hand, hanging 35" tires on the thing is going to cost you over and over again so you might want to save that couple hundred bucks for your unit bearing fund.

 

Are there already spacers in the front?

 

Yes it's 2" spacers in the front and I thought about just putting bigger coil springs in but my truck has a grill guard up front and a diamond plated steel bumper in back so I'm not sure how much it's going to drop down

 

Just a leveling kit then. Rear is highly likely stock height.

 

I can't put a leveling kit on the front. I bought a 2 1/2 " spacer and it's already got a 2" on there now. So I would have to get a 5" spacer to level it out

 

You already have a 'leveling kit'..... sorta. Wonder if you have an add-a-leaf, or some such in the rear, to give it that much rake. There DO seem to be an awful lot of leaves in the rear spring pack.

 

Here's a couple pictures of the stock springs from a 97 1500:






From what I can see in their pictures, the back end is bone stock. Might be easier to tell with the tire off, or looking across the truck at the opposite side.
