: 4" of rear lift on a budget...

I scheduled an appointment to have my CST spindles installed, but I'm still trying to decide what to do for the rear. I already bought a set of 3" blocks, but decided to leave the torsion bars leveled so I need about 4" out back. I'd love to just get a set of Deavers, but thats a bit beyond my budget at the moment so I've narrowed it down to three possible setups.

#1- 4" blocks
#2- 3" blocks + 1.5" add-a-leaf
#3- ORD 4" Shackle flip kit

The flip kit seems like the best option, but I haven't been able to find any info on it. The first option has me concerned about spring wrap and the second option concerns me as far as the ride quality. The rear end is already pretty damn stiff and I never carry more than a few hundred pounds in the bed so making the suspension even stiffer seems a bit counterproductive.

Any advice or suggestions are greatly welcomed!!!:D

I've never had it done but I'm pretty sure you can have your stock springs re-arched. Dunno what it does for ride quality or how much it costs, just throwing it out there since I didn't see it on your list.
