I would like to add another two inches of front lift. I already have 8 inch springs, so I dont want to go more spring. So, I am thinking about the ORD 1 inch blocks.

Then, how to get another inch. All I can think of is shackles, which I am not real fond of.

Thanks

Add a leaf to the pack and put the 1" ORD's in.

Ken, I know you said you are not fond of shackles: Daystar makes a shackle that is 1.5 over stock and you can get it in greasable and non-greasable versions, just trying to help

I may just go ahead with the shacles.

Thanks. I am open to all suggestions.

No, I meant a full-length add-a-leaf and then the 1" zero rate ORD add a leafs (which are really blocks with holes in them).

I really dont want to stiffen up the front springs any. Thats the reason I dont want to go with new front 10 inch springs.

Will already have a 3 inch body lift.

Second thought.... maybe I will do the ORD block and an add-a-leaf. Since I have the 454 and will be adding a 12k winch in not too long.
