Leveled my D250

I got 3 sets of the aluminum spring shims from my local auto parts stor for $30, spent 10 minutes puttin them in in which i measured before i started and it came out 2 1/4 inches higher which made my truck ride better (rougher) i like a good firm ride in a TRUCK i don't want it to ride like a car and plus my front springs were saggin so it is probably the same ride that i would have gotten with new springs. Here are some pictures tell me what you all think,


The front is still 1" lower but it is better than 3" lower looks more level and a lot better in person

Here they are hard to see but they are there. You get them at the auto parts store they are front spring boosters each set gave me 3/4" lift it sets nice i think. This picture sucks but it is all i had, They are those silver things you can see 1 at the center towards the right of the picture
