Default After leveling

Here is a pic with my leveling kit, rims and tires. I made my front and made it too high. The block was 1 1/2" tall and raised the front 2 1/2" It took two sets of spring compressors to get the strut back in. The rear I used an add a leaf from rough country. It was a universal for 2 1/2 leaf springs and is too stiff. I can't find u bolts to fit my rear I have the big axle tube.
The tires were the best change 265/70/16 nitto terragraplers for $535.00 shiped from jordan tireSANY0291.jpg

I like the wat the truck sits you can fit 285/75/16 which is a 32.8'' tire. They rub a little only when making sharp U-turns

Looks good. I also have a leveling kit, but i used 2" axle blocks to lift the rear. Can you tell me the part number for the add-a-leafs you used?? I want to buy a set.

The springs came from ntw they are a ford/dodge/chevrolet universal set. They are was too stiff I probally got 3" of lift , but now it rides like a log truck. I think an addaleaf for the older dakotas would work better. As soon as I find something different im changing
