6.5" bastard pack?
I am looking to go from 5" to 6.5" of lift in the rear. Does anyone know of a combination leaf pack that I can build to give me the lift I'm looking for or would it be smarter just to buy 6.5" leaf packs from a vendor? I know the Dakota pack will give about 4.5" of lift but I don't know what to add to it for the rest! Any suggestions let me know! Thanks in advance!

It's a bastard pack. You're probably making it for the reason that it's cheap. And since it's cheap, you can make another one for cheap. It takes quite a while to sag anyway.

sagging comes fronm the angle of the shackle being straight up and down. makes leafs softer. adjust angle back to 30-45 and they will not promote more sagging.
my setup is bastard pack (s-10 net 4in) and 2in shackles (chevy pick up drop shackles)
1 stock location with lift chackle
2 shackle relocatied. no extra lift gained. ton of down travel gained. and stiffened pack back up
