Question Lift Spring

Has any one tried this out, instead of the lift block in the rear, just curious?

got me thinking that one can achieve a two inch lift plus additional towing and carrying capabilities, rather than just a lift with the block

Yes they will work. I did a similar thing. I took a Ram 2500 leaf spring which lifted it up. The actual lift will be less then they say due to specific weight ect.

I hate cheater blocks, by the way I say go for it and get a real suspension lift.

i think you mean there is no suspension lift for the front with the exception of the leveling kit. Thing is, if you use this leaf to raise the back end, you will have even more of a rake if you don't have a leveling kit, and if you do have a leveling kit,then you will be right back where you started with the rake, only higher....so whats the point?

but wont it be the same as putting on the leveling kit up front and the blocks in the rear ???
if it is ; then i would think that this method would be better that the blocks, since u are not only getting the added height but more towing and carrying capabilities ???

Its the best way to setup the rear. There is no good way to lift the front however....

Just an assortment of junk leveling kits.
