I like the idea of a higher spring rate for both front and rear, and can go with better shocks to help with the stiffer spring rate. So add-a-leafs are my best bet, which will help to reduce the amount of sag over the life of my truck. As of now I'm thinking of using Tuff Country or Edge for the add-a-leafs. Not sure where I'll order them from... I want to see if there are any dealers close to me. Thanks for all your input - Eck.

V10commandments I would check out Summit. WWW.summittruckstyle.com most generally ther prices are hard to beat and free shipping. Bulky items sometimes require extra shipping. I have got front and rear springs from them in the past and one set was standard shipping and the other cost $10.00 extra.

Thanks labwillow, I'll check it out. By the way, when you installed your 2.5" add-a-leaf pack up front, did you have to do anything else up front... like get a new track bar?

I kept the factory track bar. (they made two, one is heavier 1" than the other 3/4") I have the heavier one. The kit came with a drop bracket to lower the track bar mount.That was the hardest part of the kit. The factory nuts inside the frame for the track bar bolts all spun when I tryed to remove them. Took some pacing bloody knuckles and a few cuss to get them out. When I reinstalled new bracket I welded ears on new nuts with 5/16 rod so they would not spin when I tightened them.
