Do I go with 3-1/2 inch blocks or add a leaf? Either way I think I should go with longer rear shocks, right? How will 3-1/2 inch blocks affect the rear ride quality? How will an a add a leaf affect the rear ride quality? How much added height will an add a leaf add. Bet you can't can say that five times in a row.

I currently have green keys and one inch blocks in the rear with shock height shocks. But I will be going with longer shocks in the rear.

Anyone recomment where to get add a leaf?

in general, an add-a-leaf will give you 1.5-2". stock springs + 3.5" block+ add-a-leaf?? holy crap, i hope you dont have any fillings cause they wont be there for long! talk about a stiff ride!

I'm not going to do both. So if add a leaf will only give me 1.5 to 2", then I will not do leafs. Are there leafs that add 3 to 4 inches?

New Springs? Deaver suppose to soften the ride.

Blocks are suppose to worsten axle wrap.

What shocks are you using in the front?

I just ordered cognito dual shock loops and 6 Belsteins. The rear shocks will 4" overs.
