Okay guys I am new here and I dont really know my way around yet. Maybe you can help me? I am preparing to lift my 98 Dodge Ram 1500 with a five inch Superlift springs. I have ordered extented upper and lower control arms, a drop down track bar bracket, new track bar, dropped pitman, and sway bar brackets so the front end is set. My question is what do you suggest for the rear? Add a leafs? Blocks? Shackles? Or a combination? I really would like to hear from someone whos actually done this already. I appreciate your thoughts, thx.

Well you're off to a good start! I've always thought a new leaf setup or add a leaf are the best options because blocks can wear down your leafs quicker and long shackles look funny in my opinion

3" add a leaf will sit you level with the front.

Dont forget longer shocks front and rear.

Stacking locks is good for a pavement pounder or for mild off road. Add a leaf is better , and like I'd did full new rear leaf spring packs.
