Al, that is in fact what I am thinking about. I would like to keep my one ton springs so I still have a good pay load, but sick of the nose bleeds from sitting so high.
C-10Driver, adding blocks would do as you mention, but shackles, from the frame to the spring, would raise the back of the truck.
I don't think I want 5 to 6 inches, and that is why I was thinking of the shackles to bring it back up... I think maybe 3 or 4 at the most, just a mild drop.
What about c-notch... will this be an issue? Will I want some kind of a bumper to keep the exle off the frame?
