alright guys my current set of springs has seen better days.

im looking for around 4.5-5inchs of lift and be able to clear 35s in the end, yes i have my fenders trimmed along where the oem flares were mounted and i do have extended front bumpstops, my rears are mia though. this is what i have chosen to get the job done. let me know if you have suggestions. i just want it to sit level which is my main concern.

RE 3.5 leafs
RE 4.5 coils
RE boomerang shackles
RE 6 degree leaf shims to set the pinion angle.


currently this is what i have

rustys 3 inch hd coils which are sagging
iro 2 inch spacer which i may or may not reuse
skyjacker 4.5 shocks which will get replaced later on down the road
rustys 2 inch add a leaf which are sagging.
rustys 2.5 inch tapered blocks which are getting trashed
RC longarm kit which is getting reused.
and extended brake hoses.

why does everyone forget track bar
if you're going out of your way to buy leaf springs, I'd go OME http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/rea...d-p-49318.html
