Default add a leaf

can someone help me? i recently got a leveling kit (2.5" for the front) and it sits too high in the front, dont tell me i should have gotten a smaller leveling kit because i needed it to clear 35's. so i was wondering how i could pick up the rear of the truck, just like an inch. will an add a leaf do this? i just want the extra inch in the rear without a stiffer ride. will it give me a stiffer ride? is it a metal block? or is it a whole leaf? where can i get one..ive looked but i havent really found anything. also i heard a 4x4 add a leaf will work for the 2wd. any help would be great guys.

dont see why theres a diff in a 4x4 add a leaf, thought the rears of a 1500 were the same... it will be a lil stiffer but your rear is soo far back since its a quad. you could look at an airbag.....

2.5 shouldnt have been too much...

ya well.....its lookin like a pre runner right now and i hate it. however my situation is weird, and i wont know until i get everything fixed.

my belts came apart in my tires causing a lump to form, especially on the driverside rear. so i have about 10 psi less in the rear than the front. also because i need longer shocks, i took out my shocks, so that makes the front sit higher. so that could aid into my problem. i guess ill go from there once i get shocks, tires and a ball joint. i just wanted to start looking in case i needed to lift my rear end. i hate how when i park next to a truck the front is so much higher than the other truck, but the tailgate sits at the same height as theirs. I HATE IT

Did you not have the spacers? If so, are you still using them? If not, would you like to sale them?

sorry dude, im a little confused....but if your asking if theyre not on my truck, are they for sale..the answer is no because they are on my truck. now i just need to lift the rear end to go along with my front. front endwas lower by like 2 inches...so i got a 2.5" leveling kit for the front, and now to get it where i want, i figured a 1" add a leaf. but i cant seem to find it.

well, rough country has a 1 inch block with the 3 inch spindle kit they sell. Maybe they would sell it individually. I would a answer for you if you needed 3 more inches. Because I got another set of 3 inch blocks.
