my rear end is a few inches higher then the front, im not sure if the front coils are 4" or 6" though, if they ARE 6, do they make like 8" coils? or spacers or anything?

Before you go stick 9" coils under your truck... You should think some things through. For example, shocks, driveshaft, caster angle, and so on....

well i already have the drop brackets and stuff, and the driveshaft barely has much angle to it as it is.
and the tie rods have the drop 4" pitman on it now and it is actually i little to much i think

i just dont think i wanna make it bigger than it is now becuase its hard enough on axles and u joints as it is. probably will just swap in dana 70 and 60

just food for thought now...

In the future if you're lookin for certain things, try Rocky mountain suspension. Phone them, you'll talk to a nice southern Belle.... She seems to know her stuff.

You might have to lengthen your track bar with those big springs or you will get the wobble of death.

when i first bought this truck it had a GNARLY death wobble as soon as you hit 25mph. i replaced all wheel bearings and ball joints and about $500 worth of drag links and it dissapeared now i can do about 75 until something else starts shaking, real fast vibration somewhere between the motor and rear diff! i just dont go that fast anymore, not to mention i think my truck revs out about 80mph anyway even with 38's..
and i did put drop brackets on for the lift kit i have, along with no degree'd c bushings
