Rear Suspension Advice Needed

Hello all. I have a situation that I would like to get some help with. I have an 08 DC 4x4, 5.7, that I tow with. The truck is 10 years old and has almost 170k miles on it. The front suspension has 6112 Billy’s set at the highest level with PC upper control arms. The rear just has Billy’s and a slight bro lean to it. The leafs are almost completely flat. I don’t want to do a block or shackles. What I would like to do is get some new rear leafs. I don’t want them to be soft and if they give me an inch or two lift that would be about perfect. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

Check out OME Dakar leaf packs sold by ToyTec. 2.5. " rear lift. Restores rake too

 

Alcan will make a custom leaf pack that's 1/2 the price of OEM replacements, and you can specify lift if you need it. I had them make a set last year to replace the original springs on my '07, they had reversed their factory curve after 270k of doing truck things.

 

this. i'll be calling alcan soon to have them make me a set. trying to find some time to go get the truck weighed first.

 

a little bit afraid to find out how much it actually weighs...

 

5800 lbs is my guess.

 

My 14 DC Limited weighed in at 5,760 lb with about a 1/4 tank of gas and some heavy M/T LT tires on

 

yea, 5800 is going to be way light. my guess is around 7200.

 

Wow, that's a pig.

 

heh. yea, just a little.

 

Maybe it’s just big boned. lol the tires alone are pretty heavy aren’t they?

 

yea, the tires are a bit beastly.
