new ball joints, springs, shocks, etc...

not the cheapest solution, but it worked for me!

Depends on how much you need to lift it to make it level. Let us know how high you need to lift it (i.e. 1 inch, 3 inchs etc.). Several people here have lifted and/or leveled their trucks.

If your looking for 1-2inches to eliminate the rake just put an add a leaf in or get a pring of a truck in a bone yard. You'll have to get realligned but thats it. If you want more gonna have to get new springs and shocks and a drop bracket

Since you are in Little Rock, I would recommend Superior Springs, they are in NLR on Broadway right off of the River if you would rather not do it yourself. They will do lifts, add a spring, and alignment. They always did good for me when I lived out there.
