Looking for 2" Lift Ideas
 
I have been trying to figure out the easiest way to lift the front and back of the truck just 2". All the lifts I can find are 3" and up. I have a set of coil spacers to install but can't find a good way of doing the rear end. I know somebody has to make a 2" lift. Give me some ideas. I use this truck for trailers and hauling so even 2" is gonna be stretchin what I can do.

You should be able to get an add a leaf for the rear... It would stiffen the ride a bit but would be the cheapest. Or you could have your springs re-arched. The factory blocks are already 6" which is more than most care for to start with.

Everybody seemed to suggest against this add a leaf idea because it would make the truck ride stiffer. With the Bilstein's I'm runnin I don't know how it could get mech stiffer than it is. This arching is a new idea though, anymore info on the pro's con's of that and maybe where to have it done.

It will stiffen it up some, but it shouldn't be unbearable... But it's your truck. I would do it to mine. Might wind up doing it after I level the front. Have to see after that happens tho.

Who can I talk to about getting these re-arched. The local shops here never mentioned that option so I assume they dont do it.

I just put a set of Firestone air bags in and run them at around 30-40psi empty and that gave me a couple of inches in the back I needed after puting the 2" levelers in the front plus when I put my 3500# slide-in camper on, I pound 100psi in them and its still level :cool:
