so with the add a leaf its gonna ride like hell?
I've kinda grown to like how smooth the ride is in my 05 SCREW
is there a lift kit that doesnt include/need the add a leaf in the rear? I know that the front has like extenders for the struts/shocks or whatever . . . is that how it works in the rear if you dont go the add a lead route?

You could put a block, but the truck already has a block, and it is bad to stack blocks. And a larger block would be needed to replace the stock block and give lift. This gives more axle wrap, which is not good(it wouldn't be bad b/c of a 3" block, but it would be more than stock)
I don't like blocks and would take a add a leaf any day.
The 1.5" add a leaf would not cause a very stiff ride, but a 3" add a leaf would.

The Ranch5000s would be a good shock, I have some Ranch9000s and they are a very good quality shock, and I like the adjusability of them.
The bilsteins are also some very good shocks, and I considered them, but wanted something adjustable for towing.
IF I would get the bilsteins, then I would get the ones with the 0-2" lift.

the factory 4wd block is 1-5/8" tall
Autosprings sells a 3" block for the 4wd, and a 1.5" block for the 2wd. the 3" block removes the factory block completely...this gives you that extra 1.5" of rear lift to complement the 2.5" front leveling kit
oh yeah, and it also comes with new u-bolts for the axle
