Not a ton you can do about it. You could run a slightly taller block in the rear which will raise the back of the truck a little bit higher than the front, transferring more weight to the front and help balance the ride, but you'll have a 2wd-style rake. I did that on mine and didn't mind but some people want that perfectly level look.

I think he's gonna need the taller block anyways because it'll net him more than 7.5" of lift up front because of the lack of weight.

Im sure a 3.5 inch spindle and 2 inch block in the rear along with 3 inch body lift and some 35's would handle plenty of "abuse"

Why a body lift? I'm saying because you don't have the weight of a crew cab or a v8 you may pull around 8-8.5" up front instead of the 7.5" block so you may end up nose high.

ohhhh ok gotcha , i guess i would have to put it on and see from there , and other good supsension kits from 4- 7 ish inches that may be better fitted for my ride so i might be able to avoid what seems like alot of fine tunning , or is that more of a regular practice for lifting trucks haha
