Lol I know that too but DCSpecial told me to post some pics and he'd let me know how the lift was attained.

Yep, leafs in the front and a stacked block in the rear.




If you are looking to upgrade the shocks to something high quality and valved specifically for the SD w/o breaking the bank the Bilstein 5100s would be the way to go, IMO.

Those shocks are a pretty good deal. I need a few other things as well that I can pm you a list of. But while I was under the truck I noticed my drivers side leaf spring has one leaf broken and it looks like they are sagging. You know of any good springs that won't sag?

The Icon 4" springs would be the best option. Lifetime warranty on them including against sagging. 100% made in the USA.

They come with the u-bolts and nuts, as pictured.

Thats the stock shackle, thats all I know for sure. Doesn't look like the stock springs, but don't look to have much arch for any big lift. Don't know of any leveling with rear blocks. Just bought a leveling kit and look at a whole lot. Didn't see any woth rear blocks. The front springs front front hanger bracket, is it stock? Leveling kits are 50/50 bracket lift or spring. From my looking around I noticed all the lifts 4" and up are all spring and block. I could be wrong though.

I'm pretty sure it's a 4" after all my research, and the help of others. Along with checking out some pics of people with leveling kits and such. I'm just curious how I lost half a leaf out of the DS spring pack? Especially without hearing it bouncing down the road.
