Re: Leveling?
I think what cdowns is implying is that you're gonna need to supply more information.
If your truck is coil spring rear end, throw a pair of lowering blocks in there. If your truck has leaf springs, use drop shackles. There are other ways to skin that cat, but those are the quickest and easiest and will retain the full load carrying capacity of your 3/4 ton. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Leveling?
You could always put heavier springs up front to lift/level it.

Re: Leveling?
if you have the leafs you can take the bottom overload leaf out and it will allow the springs to relax a bit....giv you about 2 inches.
