1 Inch body lift??

Does anyone make one for our trucks, I am currently lifting my Dodge to the sky, I have a RCD 6 inch kit with custom Deaver rear springs(no blocks, add-a-leafs) I wanna put on 38x15x20 on it and do not want any issues some places say 38's will clear with a 6 inch kit. But I wouldnt mind putting a 1 inch body lift on for alittle more clearance. I have installed a 3 inch on the 1983 Toyota truck I installed a 350 chevy motor in for clearance, but do not wanna go that high with my truck? Thank you for any help, pics of body lifts would be helpful too

add coil spacers and add a bigger block or more springs to the rear

I'd do the spacer also......nobody makes a 1" body lift for these trucks. I have a 3" on mine, but if you are only wanting to gain an inch you'll be doing a lot of work for little gain. The spacer is easy as cake to toss in.

I have a 5" Superlift suspension on mine with the 3" body lift and I clear my 38x15.50's EASY!! I've had 40's on it and the cleared.

What size are the spacers? If you only go up an inch or two you will be fine.

You should be fine. Are your long arms adjustable at all? If so you could pull them loose and adjust them a little bit to compinsate for the additional lift.

2 inchs should be fine more than that and it starts off centering your front end because of the track bar length
