2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear of truck sits to low

[blkdragon]

When I put my leveling blocks on I think they were bigger than the advertised 2". My truck sits with the front just a tick higher when unloaded and when I hook to my stock trailer it sits alot lower in the back, effects the ride, and looks ridiculous. I think I need a little more than an add-a-leaf because I don't care if the back end sits a little higher than the front. I was thinking about getting blocks to replace the factory ones that were an inch taller. What do you guys think? Has anyone had this problem? Also I don't have helper springs and I need them. I was looking at air bags being that they aren't that much more than regular helpers. Has anyone used them? Is spending the extra money to be able to adjust them in the cab or just get the auto level kit?

Air bags are an option.

Adding extra blocks to an already blocked out rear is a bad idea. Did your truck come with the trailer tow or camper package?

What I would recommend is going to a local spring shop and having new leafs made with an overload for towing. Have them make the leafs to eliminate the stock blocks. In your case, you will probably need 5-6 inch over stock leafs. You get rid of the factory blocks and you wont have axle wrap anymore. Towing with new leafs with overloads will make the truck not sag when towing. I love my leafs i have made. I had over 2500 pounds of scrap in the back on the bed and only sagged 3/4"
