Got it up

I just got my truck back, I had Eibach leveling coils and new radius arm bushings installed. I will get it aligned next week, the shop didn't have the right camber bushings. Well that will let the coils settle a bit which is good. They lifted the front 2.5 inches. The front sits a little higher than the back now but looks good. It rides a lot better too.

Are the springs a harsh ride?

I would have to say no, I rides so much better than before. I think it is smoother now because of the new radius arm bushings, before when I'd hit a bump or pothole it would jerk and rattle every panel in my truck.

I have some rancho add-a-leafs that I might put on the rear.

i think thats a good idea... level the truck out... personally i think it will look better with the rear even/slightly higher than the front... but thats just me

I agree, most of my tire contact has always been on the rear quarters, even after my lift. The aal's may make the ride harsher but will level it out and give you more clearance. The rab's are a big improvemnet, and you definitely need the right camber bushings for alignment with the lifted coils. Lookin' good!
