rear leafs/aal/block?

so im gettin my hands on a 7.5" fabtech crossmember lift

Im also gonna throw on a 2in coil spacer (this should work eh?)


so thatll put me at 9.5" in the front.


right now its sitting at 5.5(spindle and coil lift) and 4(block) to sit level..I want it to sit level with the 9.5. so with that ratio it would take a 7in block/aal? Id like to run just lift leafs, maybe aal plus a small block? the kit comes with a 5.5in block with 7.5 i believe.... I dont want my diff angless to be bad. Im also gonna supercharge it so maybe traction bars would be good too..

thoughts?

Jake, theyre all yours and JT.... same thing .


ok so Jake i think 9.5 and 5 will leave me with some cali lean. and i dont want that. can i not just get lift leafs or aal on top of a block or something other than just a block? if i could get some taller leafs then id sell the block instantly..

ok. how bout...2in aal + 5in block, what about a 3in block with a lift shackle?

aal: http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/G...view=183388946
shackle: http://shop.suspensionmax.com/Shop/C...id/0/SFV/32526

blockhttp://zoneoffroad.com/product-acc?ki=70

or would i just be good with the 5in block and aal?

shim?

damn i am a noob to this haha

would traction bars help too? i plan on adding a bunch of power to the motor, aka boosted so moar power might create axle wrap...

(P.S. the reason why im kinda steering away from the super tall block is because i have heard horror stories of people putting a huge block in and it ends up killing the rear end. i dont know if its because it wasnt tapered to bring the axle or what but i dont want this to happen to me.)
