Rear End Questions
i know this has been discussed a ton before. i have done alot of reading and still cant make up my mind. so here goes. for starters, i have an 01 limited v10 4x4. i already did the v code front springs, helwig rear bar, 4 bilsteins, dual inline steering stabalizer. i have the stock weak rear springs. i am finally ready to do something about the back. it sits about 2" lower than the front. what does everyone think i should do?
1- air bags
2- b code rear springs
3- f350 lift blocks
4- re arched rear stock springs....
i dont really tow at all with my X. thats what my dodge is for. price isn't really an issue and neither is the labor. i install whatever i wind up with. also, since i replaced my front springs already with the v cdes, do you think that i can add the donahoe racing mini pack to the front to give me another 2"? then i wold have to lift the rear 4". the bilsteins that i have are stock for an excursion.would i have to get longer shocks?

You didn't list an add-a-leaf. That's my vote.
However, if price really isn't an issue then get a new spring pack installed. B-codes
Airbags are great for keeping stuff level under load but necessarily for use as a lift. (A designed airlift spring being an exception)
You'll need longer shocks if you go up 4".

i was all set to do a full 4" lift on the truck and then decided to come to my senses. i just ordered the rear 4" blocks. $38 each. and since nobody here can really say for sure what u-bolts that i need, i am going to my spring shop and he is custom making a set for $60. including the nuts and washers. he said it will take him 10 minutes to do it.
