Re: rear springs 2 1/4

just get a rear shackle flip. that will give you 4" of lift, and you can keep your current springs.

Kurt at DIY4X is great to work with.

then, for your front... go ahead and order 4" lift springs from superlift or whoever. they will come in the correct size.

worst case scenario: you will have to use some big washers to get rid of 1/4", either on your spring eye, or at your spring hanger. using washers is not really a big deal in leaf spring set ups... so go for it
