leaf spring options

[guz71]

Im bout to dive into my truck head first here next week finally. While im swapping axles, i want address my problem with the 5.5 inch lift blocks that came in the rear. With the bigger D60 and zero rates up front, it will be about 7.5 inches of lift. So in the back, should i run something like 8 inch lift leaf springs or 6 inchers and a 2 inch block? Im thinking that with the 8 inch springs, im going to loose all of my flex?

run a 4 inch shackle flip in the rear. then maybe some longer shackles. a zero rate and some 2-3" lift springs. that will ride nice and flex good.

I had 8" rear springs. they do not flex at all.

I run 6" skyjacker softrides and 2" blocks in the rear and its stiffer than i would care for it to be.

This is your best setup for a soft flexy ride.
