Im thinking about getting a HBS 2" level to stack on top of the 5" superlift ill be ordering (w/rear leafs)

now the HBS 2" will level my truck with the factory blocks, what i plan to do is put the new leafs on top of the factory (3") blocks for a total of 7.5" lift in the rear, and then putting the HBS 2" coil spacer ontop of the superlift 5" springs for a total of 7" lift in the front, which will sit right about level, maybe slightly (1/2" or so) higher in the rear.


then maybe gonna put a 3" body lift on it for a total of 10" of lift riding around on 37x12.50-16.5 Goodyear Wrangler Militarys (4 rims and 4 tires about $800)

then im going to be regearing to 4.56s from randys. still trying to decide if i want to put a different rear in (i.e. locker, lsd, or leave it the way it is and put new R&Ps in)


i also plan on a few upgraded goodies from DT ProFab.

my most favorite so far is the Free spin hub conversion from EMS OffRoad for the 1500s. as well as their CAD delete kit.
ill let you do the reading on their site

IMO, I think you should do gears first and research the lift some more.

I would ditch the spacers...get 2" lift spindles and the 5" lift coils...

kevin, how many inches of lift you rollin on?

adam, im ditching the auto hubs for manual lock outs.

redtruck, im doing them all at the same time, well ordering them anyways. so its not a fact of getting this before that.

i think everyones getting mixed up here, im currently running a HBS 2.5" level on my truck.
