Im currently in the process of getting everything ready to get my truck lifted 2-2.5" and Im wondering if a rear leaf spring(maybe out of a1/2 HD)change or add-a-leafwould be better than just sticking a spacer block in there? Also i've read some comments on the "full-size site" and all those guys are so opposed to using different torsion keys, they say just crank the torsion bars. Whats the big deal about leveling keys

 

i just cranked mineup and didnt have anyprobs, ive heard people have alignment issues, i didnt

 

you can crank your torsion bars a little without getting into trouble, but you can't crank the stock bars and keys all the way to leveling the truck or you'll run into angle problems and alignment issues

 

I jacked her to the max to clear tires

 

well, iknow my buddy cranked his all the way and has snapped 6 axles in 6 months because his angles are so far off... then again, i personally don't even have torsion bars...

 

what about the rear springs? any info?

 

add-a-leaf (or just a bigger pack) would be "better" i guess, because there's no chance of the block coming out or anything like that, but very few people find the extra price justifiable versus blocks

 

does it have blocks already, mine came stock with about a 2 inch block, or is that for the z71?

 

I think all the 1/2ton 4x4 come with small blocks. They should just put some real springs back there from the factory.
