lifting the back axle?

[crawlin91]

I know the front end is lifted using brackets longer coil springs, etc. What about the rear?
I just recently had new leaf springs put on. I want to get the 5.5" duff or 6" skyjacker lift kit with ext rad arms.
My question is will my leaf springs(oem replacements) work with these lifts?
If not, do I get new rear blocks, add a leafs or new leaf pack?
And what would be the difference in flex between those set ups?
Also would it make a difference if I only wanted to lift 4"

Add-a-leafs and shackles together can get you about 3.5" or so lift. Above that, you'll probably want new springs (taller blocks will just further aggravate the wheelhop problem already present on Rangers).

stay away from any blocks except the stock 2"er.
