If your leaf springs are sagging then an add a leaf could end up breaking the springs.I put an inch and a half shackle lift in the back.It only cost about $30 and took about an hour and a half to do.I also did my 3 inch body lift on in a day and it only cost $90

Hey thanx alot. I can see I have alot to think about. But I think I do want to go with the 2"or 2and a half Body lift. Can you recomend a good one and where to find it? And? Is ther a web page on how to put it on? I'd like to try to save the price of a shop doing it. Thanx again. Bryan

Hey ,that looks kinda like my runner,anyway, I got mine from summitt racing,I believe the brand was performance accessories.It was a complete kit and your rear bumper mounts to the underside of the body so you don't have to relocate it.Good luck.
