you cant do a shackle lift on the front of any truck. you can do a shackle reversal kit, runs about $700 bucks. you have the option of either 2.5" or 5" lift. you would need 3 leafs but dont do that man. just buy a full leaf kit. just cause its cheap doesnt mean its right. Summit Racing - High Performance Car and Truck Parts l 800-230-3030 you can get the leafs there for as good of a price as anywhere.

I don't want to sound rude or anything....but maybe you should get to know your truck a little better before you start trying to make plans for it, it will save you alot of headache down the road........as for the tires and fitting them on your truck, I've been told 37's will fit on a stock truck...so adding one leaf should give you enough room.

its a shackle reversal kit, it will move your front shackles that are located within the frame right behind the front bumper to the rear of the spring pack and makes the stationary point in the front just like the 99-c super dutys are now it allows for a smoother ride, its on page 6 of the site under products or if you just wanted to do the add-a-leaf id say 3 maybe you get away with 3 in the front will give you the amount of lift to get 37's but dont forget to do the rear, not as many leafs are needed for the rear tho being as it should already be higher than the front, sorry for the confusion bud im not real good at explaining things unless i have pictures haha

when you get to adding more than 2 leafs it gets to be a really rough ride though, the only reason i did is for the snow plow weight that will be goin on this fall plus i had the springs layin around from a friends truck
