    I've done quite a bit of searching around and can't seem to get direct answers, granted yes, I do realize everything always comes down to personal opinion of preference. Anyway, here's my dilemma...I purchased this truck used, already having the lift on it. The BDS 7" consists of a 4" block and Fox shocks for the rear suspension. I am NOT a fan of lift blocks, as they tend to emphasize axle wrap / wheel hop. With the bed cap, the rear end sits 2" lower than the front, which is something else I just cannot tolerate. What I'm needing to do is raise the rear at least match the front, and add/replace whatever in the rear that will take the place of the 4" block. BDS offers no options. Deaver said their tallest pack is 4", so that would only take care of getting rid of the block. Then perhaps a shackle to make up the additional 2"? Can anyone offer any alternative suggestions?

    A few notes: I don't want to lose any ride comfort, or suspension flex for offroading. I will be adding air-ride to whatever setup, as I will be doing some towing from time to time. And the truck will be getting at least one roof rack, so that will add the weight of cargo and gear.

    I did look at the RXT. That's basically the same option as Deaver springs, correct? Which still leaves me with the other 2"?

    7 inches is a lot of height. Maybe you can get a custom made pack by deaver instead

    Height wise, they would be the same. You could add the Coachbuilder +3 after that, it provides 1.75" of rear lift, but I would check with him about fitment. @Coachbuilder1

    It really doesn't look like it's that much lift, honestly. I had to get with BDS and give measurements to find out the lift size, because it just doesn't "look" like 7". Anyway, I did get with Deaver and they said their biggest pack, custom made to order, was only 4".
