Adding lift...

Do a rear shackle flip and replace those stock blocks with something smaller if you don't want the full 4.5" that the shackle flip provides. You gain whatever lift you want plus you'll have less block which = less axle rap.

as for the front... its time for a solid axle swap if you're running tires big enough to require that much lift. What size tires are you planning on? Not sure what your truck looks like but if its a trail beater cutting the fenders keeps COG lower and is a hell of a lot cheaper. If its a mall crawler cutout flares work as well and add some style.

Not only that but doin an SAS on it would make it bulldog to the rear anyways......Also, you could take factory spring packs apart and use the lower springs and stack under the re-arched springs...JAT...You have MORE than enough lift to do the SAS.
