Skyjacker add a leafs???

So I bought the front leafs but didn't buy the kit.. I wanna run bilstens instead... But I don't know if I want to run the skyjacker add a leafs or the whole leaf kit. I just need the 3in. Just wondering if it is going to be stiff? Or I should just go buy some blocks.. Thanks

I did Old Man Emu springs all the way around with Bilstein 5125 shocks and Trail gear 5.5" shackles. The OME Springs are said to be about 2" of lift, but they appear to be closer to 3" of lift. In theory I should have about 3-4" of lift total. I'm currently still building the truck, but I can tell you already that my suspension setup is way more soft any thing else I have experienced - should ride pretty well.

I got my springs from www.4wheelonline.com for around $400 total. The part numbers are CS009R for the rears, CS008FA for the front passenger side and CS008FB for the front driver side.

You DO NOT want to use blocks in the front - that's a big no no on front suspensions.
