Level kit rear options - opinions wanted

RyanD · Mar 28, 2016

Soon, I'll be doing the Carli front level kit on my '13 - I know to level the rear I need either 4" blocks, add-a-packs, or full leaf spring replacements. Blocks are cheap, add a packs don't require new blocks, and leafs will ride superior.

I don't tow, mostly on-road city driving - curious what you guys would go with in this situation?

the best option is full leaf packs-hands down.

second pick is add-a-packs with a 1.75" blocks. (probably my favourite due to cost and setting the rake exactly how i like it. The ride with this is night and day compared to stock)

last is just a block swap. (once you have been in a truck with either add-a-packs or full leafs, you will never just do a block lift again...)

The add a pack has me curious. How can it improve the ride?

You remove the overload and helper spring, which only leaves you with the two thin leafs that connect to the frame mounts. Then you put the add-a-pack underneath which has a much softer spring rate than what was removed.
