ive heard stories about the bigger the leaf spring the more resistance you have on your axles and it seemed believable...so im not sure but could you put leaf springs on your truck without a lift kit or no?

Depending on how high you want to go, most people just use blocks. That's what I used on my Truck.

They will be fine, they arent any bigger just more of an arch and maybe a few more/less leafs. you can also order those from www.suspensionconnection.com

Don't get blocks and leaf springs. Just get some nice, quality leaf springs. Alcan and deaver make some really nice springs.

Blocks cause more damage than leaf springs.
