And the stock with blocks and add a leaf will have a pretty solid feel, especially when towing/loaded?
I know most are anti-block, but my other truck a 2nd gen dodge cummins 4x4 has 4" blocks from the factory on it and I haul a huge heavy cabover camper offroad with it and tow a boat. Makes me wonder if axle wrap is 'that big a deal' if you drive responsibly/normally?
I've seen people mention getting extended parking brake cables made by inline tube. I'm going to ask them. Not sure how much longer to get them made. The simple answer is 6" longer for 6" lift...?

There was a couple posts here a month or so ago saying that in-line wasn’t making the extended cables anymore. I tried to get some from them last summer and never got a response to my 3 emails. I understand your sentiments about the load capacity of your Oe springs. My 98 has blocks for that reason as well. You can get Oe weight capacity lift springs from Alcan which are top notch but they are more expensive as they are custom built to order. I get some axle wrap in my 98 K2500, it’s bearable but I do notice it. With an add a leaf you may be ok in the rear, like I said it will probably take a little fine tuning to get the rear ride height sorted out.
