Anyhow...
"best" way- replace the leafs
"easiest" way- air shocks
"don't give a 'F'" / other- coil-overs between the perch and frame, overloads / add-a-leafs, extended shackles

This would be a very bad last options if you are desperate. I have 3" blocks currently and I still sag a good 3 or 4 inches.

I'm doing air shocks, for one, to level the truck side to side, two, to lift it just as much as I want, and thirdly, for when I load my 4wheeler in the back to keep it from squatting.

well.
AAL's ride like hell.
before i put mine in, i had some epic sag, and it was a pretty plush ride, after i did it though i could feel all the bumps in the road, but i got 1" or so of lift out of it.

The Zuk coil mod retains the plush-ness of the original springs, but raises the rear suspension to stock height + another inch or so i think.

I guess I need to do something about my rear leafs as well. Last summer everytime I hauled something my truck would stay squatted down for a week or so.

Mine did that once, replaced the rear shocks, all is good now.

While I am thinking about it, what's the "right" way to re-arch springs. I believe there are 2 common ways. Can't remember what they are though. Someone I know around here does it just not sure how though.
