So i have a spindle lift on my truck with torsion bar suspension, and i have the factory 2in blocks that came with the truck and belltech shackles. I just put in the spindles last weekend but the front end went up 5.5 inches instead of 3.5 so I had to lower the torsion bars back down. The question is can i get away with also putting a add-a-leaf in the back too or is that too much on top of the blocks and shackles?

before it was lowered


after everything was adjusted

An add-a-leaf should't hurt the shackles and blocks at all. Just be ready for a much stiffer ride with the aal and blocks.

A question for you, how does your truck perform with the 32's and the 3.0? What gears do you have? And is yours an auto or a manual?

Im also worried about the drive shaft, it should be ok right? I love the 32s but the 4.10s are a little slugish, my next thing on my to do list is 4.56 gears and a l/s
