4x4 parts?

If so, does it reduce the rear sag? Did you have any alignment issues? How much did it actually lift the truck?

I'd prefer to keep the height the same and just get stiffer springs and matching shock but can't seem to find that anywhere.

BTW I have the 1000's and they are leaking after about 2 years so not sure I want to go that route again

You can check out this thread on lifts.

I think everyone will agree that the rear lift springs really improve the ride in the rear of our vehicles. The problem is that many of us could not get the rear end alignment back into specs after installing rear lift springs. (be it from Automotive Customizers or Old Man Emu)

appreciate the link but that thread is more about lifting.

I really don;t want to lift the truck, just have stiffer springs and shocks, bit that option is hard to find

I don't know of any rear spring upgrade that doesn't lift the rear end. If you find one please let us all know.

The link you provided is also a lift kit.

Just had a thought. Maybe if I install the H&R sport spring (which lowers) with a Rancho spacer and use Bilstein HD shocks I can achieve what I want

So you had the airlift bags in your springs and they are already leaking? How long have you had them and how many miles?

That just might work.
