that helps a lot, I guess if i want a lift i should just do it right the first time, but since i dont have that much $$ I will just fix what is broken :P... I might get the better shocks in the back, but im not planning on towing too much but the extra leaf spring would be pretty nice. thanks again everyone, the truck is in the shop now getting all fixed up :/.... then $1200 later i can have it back
