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.
 
every time i got a set of lift springs from skyjacker they would send the wrong ones
1 = Big Bronco
2 = Ranger???? they fit but relocated the axle 4" forward or backward cant rember
3 = same as 2
i gave up and im running a 5" block
 
also my truck leans to and new leafs didnt fix it, ive come to accept that my frame is probly twirked or something
 
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
