you Never want to use blocks on the front, you could pull your front springs off and take the bold out of it and you could add a leave or you could buy a leveling leave spring kit but like i said you never want to putt blocks in the front.

Ask a DOT officer that question and you will get the answer your looking for...Getting your truck impounded would bring the suck...

This is a shackle reversal kit that will lift it 3" That is just a bit more than level however.

This is for a super duty but it would give you an idea if you wanted to make your own. Longer shackles and lower your rear spring hanger.

yeah, i know the blocks are a no no, but there doesn't seem to be many other options... i wonder why no one makes a 2 in spring lift?

dont waste your time with a add-a-leaf,it wont do anything but waste the time it took to install.rancho and tuff country make 2 inch springs for them and i think pro-comp and bds do also.if you do the shackle reversal you will have to lift the rear 1.5-2 inches to sit level.skyjacker used to have a 2 in replacement spring but not sure if they still offer it.l
