You forgot to mention it's a 2wd.

Re: New guy here with a ??

Any way what would be the best way to get rid of the 2wd stance? I was thinking about putting the heavy duty 454 coil springs under the front of it. I was wanting to make the front more level with the rear, and also when I fill up the gas tank it leans on the driver side even with my fat butt out of it.

Re: New guy here with a ??

I was going to say he answer would be yes frozen shoes on a truck bed aren't helping traction.

2wd stance. I would say tires. Tires can make your 2wd look like a 4wd. Otherwise lifting the front is kinda hard. As for the lean. Switch your left and right leaf springs

Re: New guy here with a ??

you can get rubber spring spacers to give you up to two in of lift, of course you will need longer shocks and an alignment

Those rubber boots are for when I haul pigs. I put cooper discover AT3 on there this spring LT235/75R15. Do you think if I went with 31s it would get rid of that horrible 2wd stance? I was thinking the heavy duty duty coil springs for a 3/4 or a 1 ton with a 454 2wd would give me about the 2inches I am looking for. I guess if that wont work I will leave it alone and just deal with the 2wd stance and know that at least my 3/4 ton is 4x4. Never thought about moving leaf springs from one side to the other to get ride of the lean. Was contimplating putting new leaf springs in the back and hope that would take out most of the lean.
