Watch craigslist, JF, and CF for some great deals. No need to rub it in, but I got my 3.5" RE Superflex for only $150. They'll come up, just watch and wait if you're not in too much of a rush.

You could build a bastard pack from junkyard leafs. That's a cheaper option!

You could get two sets of leaf springs at a pick and pull for about $50. Then you just integrate them into your current leafs for how much lift you want

Nice, hook up a d-ring to that baby. Automatic tow point. I have a hook in the rear, but really want a hitch for a tow point. Way stronger!
What do you all think about a spare tire carrier in the front? If I wreck damgage in front won't be as bad.... Maybe... I just think it may look coool. Also decided I'm gonna do angry eyes on my headlights
like make a bumper with a stinger going in instead of out, and mount the tire on it kinda... or something like it

I feel that would overload the front and put too much on the front springs. What's wrong with a rear carrier?
I was just thinking of something different, and I thought about how boats have tires on spots that usually hit other boats but realized that prob wouldn't work.
