:woot:So, I recently swapped the skyjacker #136 springs in place of the #134's to correct the camber problems I was having due to the increased weight of the supercab/4.0 set up. (Of course skyjacker doesn't tell you any of this when you buy the kit:temper:) If any one is looking for a pair of the 4" coils let me know because they are pretty useless to me now.

Anyway, my problem is that the back of my truck sits lower that the front of my truck now and i think it looks pretty stupid. I have stock springs with lift blocks in there now. Should I buy a set of the skyjacker leafs that eliminate the blocks? Or I know a shop in my town that will custom make me some, but it would probably be easier to order the skyjacker ones and put them in.

Are the skyjacker springs good? and will I have to get the 6" springs to level everything out? or will that throw my suspension off again? Any suggestions and knowledge would be much appreciated!!!

The lift height of leaf springs seems a bit more consistent than on the front.

I would get the 6" leafs, if it ends up too tall, you can always chuck the stock 2" lift block for 4" lift.
 
The Coils will fit any year from 83 - 97. They are skyjacker part #134 which means they give four inches of lift. However if you have a supercab with the 4.0L they will not keep the truck at the proper ride height. This results in some serious negative camber. My Tires used to look like this / \ when viewed from the front.
