Skyjacker 4" system with front and rear springs and drop steering arm. Stock springs are usually clapped out after 30 years. I have National 4" springs on the back of my truck with a 3/4 ton rating. It sits nice and level still and the lift is 13 years old. I bent the perches on my diff housing with 2 1/2" blocks and add-a-leaf I originally had. Never use blocks again. I have a 20' boat with 400# tongue weight and they handle it well. I have Rancho 4" fronts, a ProComp steering arm and shocks. I pieced mine together, but the Skyjacker system is a food deal for $550 or so. My rear springs were $300 by themselves in '89.
