Single or Dual rear wheel? Mines not leveled...but If I do it on my 3/4ton, I will probably run 34s or 35s...maybe a 285/75/17 or a 315/70/17. on H2 wheels.

And If I do decide to level it, I will probably go with a leveling puck or spacer, but do longer Bilsteins, and drops for the sway bar and/or new sway bar links.
...Will probably need to do a trackbar upgrade also.

leveling a flatbed? i'm guessing your gonna have some weight on there?

if so, check out the springs in my sig. they are heavy duty leveling springs which added almost exactly 2" up front. i tried the D25's, didn't like them so I switched to the HD version and they are amazing. they are not harsher than the D25's, but they sure stiffened up the braking and cornering of the truck (less nose dive & front roll).

i actually found the D25's to be a stiffer ride . . .

springs directly from manufacturer:
http://www.tuftruckdirect.com/

springs from carrier (for a cheaper price if i remember correctly):
http://www.customsuspension.com/stor....php?cPath=553

AFAIK the 2nd item (of the second link) are the tuftruck HD coils (which i have). call both places and talk to them, really knowledgable and willing to answer any questions . . .
