springs
hi,you can look in a 4wheeling magazine for a kit but i was just in oreillys the other day and pro comp sells a set you can buy that has new front leafs, blocks for the back u-bolts all the way around and shocks also.That would be the cats ***!!! If you do lift your truck up make sure they dont give you those cheesy cast alluminum hollow blocks some places sell,been there,1 smokey burnout and the block cracked in half and it felt like my bumper touched the ground for a second,not a good feeling.

It is not good engineering practice to use ANY type of blocks, aluminum or steel. I know a lot of "kits" have them but it does not make it right. I have even seen OEM's use them when the "Accounting" engineers design the truck for the marketing dept.
To do a lift properly you need new longer springs with more arch. At a certain point when arched springs become impractical you should use a 5 link suspension with coils or floated axles with leafs.
Have fun.
