Pros and cons of rear end lift techniques.

[SGT-Wright]

What is the best method and why? Shackle extension, Add A Leaf, Re-arch, SOA, Etc... I need to fix a saggy rear end, and want to get a fresh openion on what works. Thanks

I'm doing re-arch and add a leaf next week. Re-arch because they've sagged, add a leaf to address the extra weight and to slow down eventual sagging

But I wouldn't call this a rear end lift as its more of a rear end repair. I may gain a tiny bit of height over stock with this repair, but that's not my goal.

I'm going this route partly for economics as it will be $275 for the repair. Adding a shackle won't fix the sagging leafs and may even exacerbate the problem.

I may consider shackles later but not until this problem is fixed.

i did a 2" ad a leaf and loved it. I did it without having a sag problem and gained just under 2". I liked the performance better with the add a leaf too

I just got an add a leaf added to my Rancho pack, and I can't praise it enough!

The T now rides like it should!

I did the add a leaf + the Trail Duty low profile shock mounts which gave me about 2" lift at the rear. If you lift it you would be advised to look @ longer shocks (Most use Bilstein but I have Fox Racing piggybacks)
