Suspension upgrade

[Dvine]

Looking at 4.5 arch springs. 3\1 but pack is only 1\4" thicker but have 1350lbs at pad. Do leafs effect length of rear shock? Tires are 29s. Maybe 1" from wells when turned. Cushy is an understatement. My hitch hits the curb when I go over one. Leans a lot during turns. Hell, Even a stiff breeze rocks it. Bought this with a bent Axel so I assume he drove off road hard. 8 year old tires so I figure that's when the lift happened. Thanks for all the advice. Helps a lot. If I go 4", I can put them in and its lifted? I know theres camber adjusting and possibly needing steering linkage, but that's it right? Already have dropped pitman arm and drop bracket. If everything except springs and socks are set at 2" lift, would I notice much just putting in 4" shocks springs?

Are you sure its currently lifted? I have 31" tires and they easily clear my stock suspension w/ just the leveling kit up front.
I have a good 3"+ between tire and fender, and about the same as you at the wheel well fully turned.
But it does sound like your suspension is all worn out. My front end laughs at speed bumps, and in back I usually have about 500 lbs worth of toys in the bed hauled comfortably. I do have some sway, but nothing some fresh bushings wont fix, and maybe new rear shocks.

I think you have options for lifts, but should probably get professional advice as far as what can match up to which.
I was looking at those 1350s as well. rear shock length depends on the setup, it could be the arch, leaf stack, or just an added block that will affect height/shock length.

It sounds like shock length is you main concern, to which say dont overthink it lol. Maybe just pull the old one and measure it fully extended and compressed, that should give the info to match it up. Most decent shocks will have these specs listed. I think they are measured from center of eyelets, or stud to eyelet center, depending on shock style.

Rear springs are beyond worn out. Replace.
