Raising the read suspension

It's not the shocks that you have to worry about being stressed, it’s the mounting points, top and bottom, that were NOT designed to carry the weight of the vehicle. A shock absorbers purpose is just that, to absorb shock and dampen/slow spring oscillations. The leaf springs are what are designed to carry the weight. Depending on air shocks to keep the rear quarters from rubbing your fancy wide tires in back is just begging for trouble (Go ahead, ask me how I know).

Lift blocks between the spring and axle housing are also another BAD thing. They increase the likelihood of wheel hop and spring wrap.

Extended shackles, again, not the way to raise a car or truck. Of all of these though, the right kind of heavy duty reinforced shackle, 1 or 2 inches over stock (remember, you gain only half, of the shackle length increase, in actual lift) would be the only thing I would ever consider for raising the rear a little.

The only true, correct, safest, and best working way to raise a vehicle is to get the proper arched springs. They are not that expensive and I would venture to say everyone here spends even more, than the cost of new leaf springs, just on tires for their vehicles, don't you think it's worth the few extra bucks to make the dang thing RIGHT?

If your into mopars, and are scared to open your wallet a little to fix it up correctly, your involved the wrong name brand for this hobby
