Leveling my truck

Hey guys,
I had previously debated lowering the rear of my truck with ground force shackles but I think I have decided to explore the raising the front option instead. I have been searching on here and reading and found some plastic and aluminum coil spring spacers for rasing the front of the truck. I also read about issues with the ball joints and other suspension issue as well as them effecting the way the trud rides and handles. My question is, is one brand of these spacers preferred over another. Is there a particular brand I should avoid?

ProRYDE Lift/Leveling Kits

Check out ProRYDE Lift/Leveling Kits at www.ProRYDE.com. They give you adjustability options, so you can either install it in it's lowest position (2" front lift), and it will level your truck, or you can install it in a raised position
(3" of front lift), and add a 1" rear leaf block for an overal "mild" lift. As far as ball joint/control arm issues; check out the liftALIGN parts by the same manufacturer. They keep your control arms at a proper geometry, keeping them away from the spring and bump stops. Pretty cool.

Dude, that is a great idea. I like the idea of a 3" lift in front and 1 in back. All I need in the back is the 1 inch blocks and longer u-bolts correct?

Yep, 1" spring blocks and u-bolts will do it. You can find em almost anywhere for about $30 bucks a set.
