Mini leaf kit??

My truck in sig has a Dana 60 upfront and I want to bring it up about 1-2". There is a kit I seen that is a mini leaf kit. I know blocks upfront are a bad idea. Has anyone used these?

IMHO, find a spring shop that actually builds springs and have them (hot) re-arc the springs to the height you want....no, it won't sag back (only cold re-arc does that). It would be a quick 1 day in/out process.....check with local HD truck mechnics...the big rigs have it done all the time!

Never heard of "mini leaf kit". I do, however, recall add-a-leaf kits. Those are bolt on single leaves that will generally raise a vehicle 1" to 1-1/2". Used to be rather cheap compared to other options. I used them back in the mid '80s on an old 3/4 ton. I was satisfied with the results back then.
