Was looking to raise the rear of my truck, with add-a-leafs. Is this bad for angles...etc? I dont want to buy new shocks either, is it worth it?

i have the pro comp add-a-leaf. been on there about 5k miles. raised it about 1-7/8 of an inch. not quite 2" but close.rides better than stock and holds weight alot better.no need to change the shocks.

Can I go a full 2" without a change of shocks?

I used add a leaf to raise my last truck, a Dodge Dakota, about 1.5-2". Then cranked the T Bars to level it. It rode rougher, but wasn't terrible. Summit racing sells them for about $60-$70 if I remember correctly. Angles? You mean drive shaft angles? If you do, it will be fine with that small a lift. You can keep stock shocks.

I just ordered the pro comps off of summitracing.com. Where should I get them installed... do i need an alignment? Also what should I pay? Thansk

i put mine on myself.no alignment needed. should take about 30-40 minutes to put them on.

I like the level look but i need a little rake for towing these should be nice for me.
