you can probably find another axle for very cheap... then i'd spend money on new springs if you want that much lift... or this might be a perfect time to downsize because it sounds like it's built to big for 1/2 ton axles anyway...

someone will trade you tires, rims and springs I bet.. Then you would have a better driving, safer truck as well.

heck, I sold a 12 bolt for $50 and my next option was 5 cents per pound at the scrap yard.
