I knew you could flip them, but I'm not wanting to lower the truck. In fact, I installed 2" bricks back probably 6 years ago to raise the rear up since the rear leafs seem to have lost some of their spring. Before I put the bricks in, the rear looked lowered with the tops of the tops of the tires in the fender wells. The 2" lift put it back looking almost as high as the front but it probably could've taken a 3" brick to get it slightly higher than the front.

I should probably consider replacing those springs with uni-leafs, but for now, they work. The ladder-bar just seems like the most viable solution, but I wanted to get others opinions too.

I didn't know about the kit to mount the bars ontop of the springs. I'll have to keep my eye out for kits like that. Otherwise, the ladder-bar just seems like the better solution until someone tells me they aren't a good idea because...

Any other thoughts/comments?
