add a leafs arent very brand specific.

I would highly suggest flipping the shackle in the rear and doing a shackle reversal in the front to lift the truck.

THe problem is gonna be in your front. With the TTB in your 250, you will need to get the center drop brackets with really any lift to make it worth while. While you may be able to get it aligned with offset bushings if you only go 2" or less, anything more and you will never be able to get the front end aligned without the center drops. Then opens a whole new discussion about sas with the bigger lift.....

Just food for thought.

ok good to know. It is my daily driver (landscape work truck) so it will have to drive straight. And i do plan to do some weekend wheelin' moderate though, nothing series.

i was under it today looking at the suspension and i can understand why i would need to drop the middle TTB.

what is SOS?

I had to go back and make sure id didn't type SOS instead of SAS. Back when I was in the Navy, SOS was either Save our Ship or a breakfast item of Sh** ona Shingle..... Good times!!
