Personally if I were going to spend hundreds of dollars I'd get 2" lift springs with more capacity. My plow mounts have plenty of adjustment for a higher truck, and more ground clearance never hurts. I haven't gone here yet due to sticker shock;
I was thinking about those but then figured for that price, why not get the airbag assist setup? I think i agree the way to go is to get the lift springs since it would just be the simplest. If I just put the timbrens on, it would just be squatting on them all the time. I'm thinking about the heavy duty tuff country (550 rate) 2" lift springs. This truck has heavy rear suspension so it should sit pretty level i think. Now the front is lower than the rear
