Looks pretty sharp just like it is. Wouldn't change a thing.

Those aren't stacked blocks on the rear are they ... ?

to be honest i am not sure. i bought it and it was WAY higher in the back. it already had those blocks and bags without coil spacers in the front. so i put the spacers in the front and thats how it sits. could be stock blocks with add a leaf? i dont know. it does ride VERY VERY rough in the back especially over speed bumps, with or without air in the bags.

Changed my mind ... might go one or two sizes bigger on tires ... otherwise, perfect.

I would not put a body lift on. If you plan to do any off-roading I would recommend longer springs instead of blocks. It looks good how it is, but if you want higher a suspension lift kit is the way to go. I had blocks on my stock spings, then put skyjacker 5" lift coils. I have yet to hit bottum. I would highly recommend removing the small lift block in the rear. I think a add a leaf would give about the same lift as that block. Better yet new lifted leaf springs with a lift kit.
Just my thoughts

Leave It! Looks good right now. However it would annoy me to have a rough ride and would get rid of th block in the rear. Just my $0.02

thanks for your guys' input. i dont really wanna go bigger tires cuz i dont want to have to re-gear. i also dont have the money for it. but if i ended up goin a couple more inches whether its body or suspension do you think the tires are going to look to small and goofy?

that little silver block in the back is aftermarket.. probally a 1.5 inch.. that doesnt hurt a thing stacking a block that small on there.. maybe if it was 3 and up yeah.. but thats fine.. also with that block you dont mess with the actuall suspension in the rear for ride quality because you didnt mess with the leaf springs.. these trucks just ride rough but could also be the air bags.. looks like you have a 3 inch now with 33's?? i have a 6 inch with 35's.. 3 inch suspension, 3 inch body.. if you like how it looks you should look into doing it for yours.. keep an eye out in the paper or around town for 35's for sale.. found mine for 400 bucks for all 4.. and the body lift was just 118 off ebay. 6 inch and 35's for around 700 bucks.. cant beat it
