i really like mine. im happy with it, i just think the addaleaf ride is a little harsh. It rides great, and i havent had any problems with it.

well finished it last night and it definitly sits almost 2 inches higher in the front, but i dont mind it, just might try something different in the near future to raise the rear an inch or two. Ill get some pictures up, it still looks a little wierd with my stock 20's and 33's haha, but looks good thanks to some help on the DODGE FORUM!!!

ive never seen someone take out springs and go to blocks before lol. the add a leafs do tighten it up a little bit, but nothin bags wont help. most guys i know hate blocks, but they go to coils.

im not a fan of blocks either. nor am i a fan of lowering the front of the truck to match the rear. so for me, removing the addaleaf, putting in the neccessary height block to level it, and then installing airbags is the only combo i came up with in my head that would work, short of replacing the whole leaf pack with lift arch springs. it really would only be like a 2 1/2-3" block is all.....i wouldnt go taller than that for a block anyways.
