Add-a-Leafs?

Okay so I know they make a 2-1/2" add-a-leaf and a 1-1/2" add-a-leaf but anything smaller? I only need about an extra 1/2" of lift in the rear. I had that custom 4.5" block made but Im getting a lot of axle wrap now. So, I was hoping I could pick up an add-a-leaf to give me 1/2" of lift because I want it to sit level. Can anyone help?

Either get the 5" block but if you dont like the axle wrap get a 4" block (which is stock isnt it?) and the 1.5" add-a-leaf. that would give you 5.5" wuts .5"? or if you really only want .5" more then just get custom 3.5" block and the 1.5 add-a-leaf.

Can anyone tell me if these 1.5" or 2.5" numbers are the actual height increase?

How much lift does the Skyjacker leaf pack provide?

I was also thinking about just putting a stock 2" block and a 2.5" add-a-leaf in there. .

Hell, 3 or 4 inches would be way too much lift. I've got a custom 4.5" block in the rear to match my 1-1/2" Autospring up front and its perfectly level and thats how I want it to stay. .

You would not need a block anymore, with the new leaf pack, therefore eliminating your axle wrap problem..

Thanks, I tried to find it online but couldn't find it any where.

Could you also find the price on the 3" leaf spring kit? I could use the 3" kit plus the factory 2" block, correct?

Does anyone know if the DL adj coilovers will work with the Rancho kit? and does anyone have any feedback on the DL res. rear shocks? Im planning on upgrading my suspension before I go 37s. .

If you are serious about buying some coilover's... skip the DL's and check into Donahoe Racing or King coilovers. Much better quality, but you'll pay for it. Just remember, you get what you pay for...
