Lifting the rear

I installed the Skyjacker D25 springs about 6 months ago and the front end sits about 1" higher than the back. It hasn't settled like I thought it would. Now I need to lift the rear about 1". How is the best way?

Re:Lifting the rear

IMO the best way would be to buy the skyjacker dr76 softride rear leafs ......they are 6" lift with the factory block or with the fsctory lift block removed they give 1" of rear lift (skyjacker told me they would offer the 1" lift without the block)

that said they are expensive

another way would be an add-a-leaf kit they usually add 1-1 1/2" of lift but can make the ride a lot stiffer


I'm in the same situation as you with d25's up front and a draging rear ........ I think I might save the cash and go for the leaf's cuase I believe removing the block should also help eliminate some of the wheel hop in the back too

Re:Lifting the rear

If you go with the Add-A-Leaf, make sure it is a long spring.

The short springs really stiffen up the ride,
but have heard tales that the longer ones don't change the ride that much.
