The good and the bad for those that will venture this way.
I installed a Skyjacker 2" Add A Leaf. This raised the rear about 3". 1" of sag removal and 2" of lift. No problems except my help cut into the shock while using a cut off wheel on a 4" grinder to remove U-bolts. I have some vibe. I also have some squeak in the rear springs now.
I installed 2" Teraflex spacer in the front omitting the factory spacer to lift 1.5". Unbolting everything would be a pain but strut compressors are dangerous. My steering wheel is still centered and I feel no issues at all driving.
I am now going to check toe-in. I have new shocks and I have a new steering dampener. I will need to use degree shims to tilt the rear differential. I will reposition brake lines just to be safe.
