Seen more then a few newly built 4x4 trucks that went cheap lift blocks in the rear and the front new springs sit much higher
The truck had a camper in it the majority of its life, hence the overloads

I would do that no problem; just trying to determine if the stock leaf pack is worthy....they seem fairly level.....should probably take a measurement
