Newly acquired 88' 1T Crew Dually 4x4! Need advice also

[dieseldawg142]

do like willett says, get new 2"-3" leaf pack for the front. have add a leafs on my stepper, they wear grooves in your main leafs, & re-arched springs are only going to hold up so long under a heavy V30, & ride rougher.
airbags are good if you tow or haul alot, but about $350 for a set. i have firestone ride rite 5000lb set on my 85 crew. part #2040 will fit K/V 1 tons. i can jack the truck up 6 or 7 inches, enough to start screwing with my pinion angle.
shackle flips are good, about $200
2"-3" blocks & u-bolts are around a hundred bucks. nothing wrong with blocks (unless there stacked or over 3")
heck, i got 4" shackle flips, 3" blocks, & airbags on my crew
