Default what to do about pre runner look

i'm sick of my truck having the prerunner style look with the bed lower then the cab. and am thinking again about taking out my lift and possibally converting to a dually waht do you guys think

also. .....if any one wants a lifted 2500 insted of a stock 3500 we need to be talking cause we can do some trading of parts and cash possibally labor in doing the swap also

came up with these options also

to buy new springs and level it out. now if i go this route should i go

1.full spring
2. factory block and lift springs
3. tuffcountry lift block from 5"kit and say 3" lift springs
OR....OR
4. go back to stock hight with rims and 285's how would th estacks look then i think it might look a little silly

how about putting the stock blocks back in and doing a shackle flip? or getting a set of leaf packs or get a set of bags or get a different set of AALs

I had gotten a 4-5" AAL for my 98 1/2 ton. Im sure someone makes one for a 2500 or 3500.

you could custom make some shackle flip brackets. it isnt that hard

I have my truck levelled, and it has a bit of the pre-runner look as well, but where I have been the most dissapointed is when im towing, it looks like I have a semi trailer on behind due to the lifted front end. I have ordered 3" blocks for the rear now to set the rear higher than the front!
