The B2 that I bought already had a lift kit installed, but I'm not sure of the brand or size. I think it's a skyjacker kit because the springs have skyjacker on them. The rear of the truck has lift blocks. I had measured the blocks at one time, and I think they were 3.5 inches. The reason I'm asking is that the passenger side rear of the truck appears to be sitting lower. Thinking about replacing the leaf springs, but I would like to buy new lift springs and get rid of the lift blocks. Can anyone help me figure out what size lift I have? I can get pictures of the rear blocks, front springs, and front drop brackets if that would help.

Thanks!

What size tire are you running. And yes replace the blocks. I would go with explorer spring. The 4 pack not the 3. Also some beltec 6400 shackles for the back

Looks like a 4 inch lift. You can get lift springs from several companies for a couple hundred bucks

The tires in the pic are 29's. I'm now running 31's. Thinking about ordering the lift leafs from skyjacker to get rid of the blocks. Hopefully I can get the info I'm looking for when I get a chance to call Skyjacker.

That sucks about the springs from Skyacker. But I'm probably gonna still give them a try. And I know my frame ain't tweaked.

Rough Country has excellent customer service. I got my lift in less than a week with zero problems. Plus a 10% discount for posting pics on Pirate.

And rough country sent me the wrong coils twice, we'll I don't know if they were wrong but they click clacked back and forth on the TTB bolt that hold them in place, had to get skyjacker springs and build a spacer to tak up that space between the bolt and coil
