Carli and KORE both use Deaver springs in the rear, they provide 1.5" lift alone, the Lorenz cost more that Carli.

Is there a place where I can buy just the rear leaf springs? http://rockkrawler.com/
Here is a truck running 37's with the Carli full leaf pack in the rear. Look at the articulation!!

I put the Revtek springs on front because they sit over an inch taller and level the truck out. They also are a much more pleasurable ride. BDS is about 30% stiffer than the stock spring rating and is way to rough of a ride.

I think he's talking about the rear spring packs....

At any rate, the difference in ride quality is worth the $165 itself.

What 6" would you run if you just needed show and no offroading (for 37s)?

I think I remember most people said BDS and Fabtech and Superlift all make kits for these trucks but I never researched that style of lift. I would suggest getting new springs though in the rear and go for the Bilstein shocks atleast. I see alot of people that go that high or higher complaining of deathwobble so you may want thurens trackbar and right now there is an indexing ring for the transfer case on the classifieds that im pretty sure you will need.
