Jack it kit?

I am thinking of getting a Jack It kit to go along with my "V" code
springs. I was wondering how much lift I will get from the two and will I need any other mods after the install. I want a level ride or have the rear just a tad high( I tow a 29 ft travel trailer 7000lbs)I was hoping to put on 295's after the install. Is there a way to fix my speedo after the bigger tire's(4.30LS)? Thanks for all your help and part #'s!!!!

I just ordered rancho 9000x's and a sway bar, Will the shocks still fit????

I'm saving for my shocks and "v codes" now. Where did you get yours and if you don't mind...How much? I think I remember reading that the stock items fit with up to 3 inches of lift. The new springs add 1 inch of lift, I believe. Somebody else jump in here and verify or correct. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about your speedo. I went from 265's to 315's and it was only off by about 5mph.
