rearched front springs turned out awesome

i found a guy to re arch my spring he added a 2 1/2 ton spring it brought the front of the truck up about 4 inches believe it it actually rides better he also did a 3 into 5 exhaust using a big rig stack the long ways it looks bad *** i will try to get some picks he did it all for 500.00 i think that was a deal

did he rearch the front springs and add 2 leafs or just the extra spring? if you got 4" you probally should get a drop pitman. did you have to take the springs off or did he do all the labor? post pics, a little lift and a stack is allways cool.
