Yes, you can, I'll get prices on both of them...

Thumper, You can see the leaf packs in this picture:



I found the 4'' pair for $275 shipped. The 3" is only an add-a-leaf, I say you should get the 4" kit, and you will be good to go..

Don't you need some kind of block in order to get your rear end angled just right? I know the stock blocks on my old F250 were wedge shaped and if I'd have set the leaf springs right on the axle housing it would have increased the angle of the drive shaft/differential connection.

There is a Fabtech 5" block listed on eBay (listed as 4"), you might want to check it out. I have mine sitting on my desk ready to be installed with my autospring. I can't wait hopefully next weekend!

I think the ride will definitely be improved.. If I would have know that the pair of leaf packs was only 275, I would have added them a long time ago. I will be adding them, along with fox reservoir shocks towards the middle of the year..

hey thumper, stay away from blocks! back in the day of my off roading, blocks burned me! I would just go to your local spring shop, they will hook you right up, at least here they do. I blew out a block one day on my way to a wheelin' party, I went in to the spring shop, they built me 2 new leaf packs right there, and installed them. My wallet was $100.00 lighter and I was back on the road in about 1.5 - 2 hrs. After that, I swore Id never use blocks agin!

Are you just going to use the 4" leaf pack? I know Im currently using a 4-1/2" block and it sits level but when I just had the 4" block, I was sitting bulldog. . Are you worried about sitting bulldog?

I might consider running this system. I'm running a 5 inch block in the back as we speak. I sit a tad bit higher in the front. I'm hopin it settles down just a bit.
