My dads truck has a 2.5" Tuff Country leveling kit, and the front of the truck actually sits a little bit higher than the front. I don't like this look at all, but when the truck isn't loaded it isn't very noticeable at all...

However, since we use the truck alot to haul stuff and pull the trailer...You get the point, front sticking straight in the air with the back end dragging. Looks like crap...

Also we have a 10,000lb tractor that we have to pull from time to time with it (2,000lb trailer too). So the back end REAALLY drags then. I realize we are exceeding the weight rating, but sometimes we have no choice. The stock 275/65/18 BFG's are just barely holding on for dear life to top it off. What load range are they? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the tire.

Sorry for the rant, but my main question is what should we do to make the back end an inch or so higher? Add a leaf? Overload springs? Aluminum spacer and longer shocks?

Thanks for the help.

 

Sounds like your best bet would be to install an add-a-leaf.

 

How much lift will an add a leaf add? LOL redundant question. Will raising the rear mean that I will need longer shocks?

 

add a leafs will do. It did about 1.5-2 inches lift on my 94 f150. stock shocks should be just fine.
