It rides like total shit on SLA trucks. Just get spindles and be done with it.

SLA = Short long arm , suspension. Aka 98+ suspension.


Actually on I-beam suspension the ride doesn't change it's the characteristic of the suspension. But that's. 1997 down.

Just spindles you will be higher in he front then the rear. If that's what you want sure. The spindles are a 3" lift. The blocks stock 4x4 rear blocks are only 2". Pretty much the truck will be level. You can usually snag the blocks and ubolts out of a junk yard for $20. Spindles are what $250.

Think they stopped selling the ebay ones. I haven't looked in forever. Even if it was more like $400 or $500 now, I would rather do it right. My suspension sucks now
