I've heard good things about Alcan Springs, assuming you're gonna want to lift the front a little? I've emailed them before, about $250 each.

skip the skyjackers, and go straight to the Alcan's. You will never regret doing it.

Have to agree on the Alcans. Great company, great product & Charles is one hell of a guy to deal with. I had a set of 1" up on my old truck. A word of warning, though, don't get the block deletes unless you are going to be towing every day. They were miserable for running to the grocery store.

Do they happen to sell a spring kit for the front and rear of the trucks or a lift kit?

Call them and talk to Jason. 970-241-2655. They custom make springs for you, and they have several examples from people that have purchased springs for Dodge truck apps.
My RCC fronts are basically the same as a truck, but my rears are a little softer, since I don't need to ever put 2K lb or more in the rear of it. They can sell you front, rear or all, with stock lift up to 6 inch.

Why would the block delete springs ride stiffer? Isn't that what custom springs are suppose to eliminate...

I am planning on eliminating the rear block with a softer spring and then adding a long travel air bag system similar to the Carli 3rd gen kit for weight carrying ability and towing.

The block deletes i got from Alcan were miserable. It was a custom made 9 or 10 leaf pack, 1" lift & would toss you around like a BB in a balloon. The fronts were great, they came in almost a month before the rears & I threw them on. Last time I spoke to Charles @ Alcan, he said the soft pack springs they are selling now are actually made at Dallas Spring & drop shipped to your door.
