Default hd rear leafs

I plan on putting HD rear leafs (1750 lbs) in my 2008 xl 2.3 rwd that currently has the 3 code leafs (1100lbs?). How much is this going to lift my rear? I'm not really looking to lift or level but I don't want a severe rake.

Depending on how worn your current springs are you probably wont notice to much lift maybe an inch at the most

Yeah, depends on the sag of your current springs. You might get 2" or 3". If that's too much rake, you can always remove the rear lift blocks. For visual, see bottom photos here ==> http://imgur.com/a/WpQR8
