I would after 3in. My driveshaft hasn't been affected. I'll be putting in a cross member from a manual for my drop and longer brake lines asap. with what i did runs really smooth with no shakes, just stiffe. when i add 2 more inches i'll be ready except for lower control arms and yoke slip elim.

If they are stock they won't give you any height over stock.

take apart your stock pack. find one or two leafs from something else and put them back together. just make sure there the same width, 2.5in is generally stock

S10 leaf pack is easiest. Just cut the eyes off the S10 leaf and install it under your factory main leaf. Youll have 3-3.5" of lift, just enough so you dont have to change anything else.

You could try to mix and match but then youll be doin it for a lil while.
