Default 3" lift on 99'2500 gasser

Okay, here's the deal. I installed 3" spacers from Top Gunz plus the lower trac bar relocation bracket. I left the rear stock and the stance is perfect? But now I think I'd like to take it up another 3" in the front and bring up the rear 3" to keep the same stance. The 315/75/16's clear just fine now with no rubbing, I just think a little more would be nice. Questions are: 1) Best way to lift rear? Add a leaf? Shackle flip? Or some combination of both or new springs? 2) Where to source new trailing arms and a new trac bar? I looked at Top Gunz web site and didn't find what I think I'm looking for. I'm also considering some kind of air bag load assist as I do still plan to tow with it from time to time. Any ideas, thoughts ,suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

well I would have to say get a add a leaf it will also help if you still tow for that added weight. and for the other suspension stuff go with http://www.suspensionconnection.com They are freaking awsome if you caint find it on the website call them they have every thing and for a good price to.

I agree, if your gonna tow get an add-a-leaf. You can get the control arms from suspension connection as mentioned, most lift companies make them, Skyjacker, Fabtech, ect. Those places also have the relocation brackets.
