Not alot usually I'll get maybe 3 truck loads a year. Other than that I may
move a couch some furniture, quads, wood burner stuff like that. definetly
not 1,000+ lbs.

So I'd really really like to get rid of my 2" block but the
Sky mfg rear spring mount says it'll only get me about 4.5". I need to
level this truck out so what do you guys suggest? I mean will the front spring
mount with a new heavy duty shackle give me 6" lift?
KO you have 6" lift right what did you do?

EDIT: nevrmind i'm asking the same question I asked last night.
I'm gonna get the front hanger and a new heavy duty shackle and
see where it gets me.

"Sky mfg rear spring mount says it'll only get me about 4.5''."
Then use those and a 2'' Add A Leaf or leave the 2" blocks.
Or just do the other opition of new spring hangers.

4.5" lift is a stretch for those sky brackets. the most i have heard them lift is 3". if you have a longer than stock shackle then yea i could see it but not with stock shackles
