    Looks like some block in the rear and some bilstein 6112 in the front, picked it up last week but does ride rough in the rear….35 inch tires with some pro comp 16s….maybe a 5 to 6 inch lift??

    I like the look. It looks higher than other 1st gens with 6112's I've seen, so you must have a drop bracket lift (sub frame) too.

    @des2mtn you are correct! What should do with the rear? Looks like just blocks…

    I would recommend a complete new leaf pack from a brand like Alcan or Deaver and ditching the blocks. It's going to set you back around a grand, but it's a worthy upgrade in my opinion. The blocks will cause your stock leafs to flatten over time, and a proper leaf pack is what you want if you're planning on keeping the truck for a long time.

    You can talk to them and they should be able to make a spring pack that brings your rear end to this same height, and it can be rated to whatever weight you plan on keeping in the bed full time.

    thanks for the info! I’ll definitely be looking into that! And you are correct again sir! The leaf packs do look flat! I am planning on keeping this truck for a long time so that is a great investment!
