I don't think either is ghetto. That was my point. But they're both cheap ways of getting a little lift.

What about arching the springs? It don't cost that much. Is that ghetto also? If so, why?

Not ghetto, but not needed, unless the springs are flattening out. Plus you're looking at more cost and more effort.

What exactly do you mean by custom springs?

Going to a spring maker and having leaf springs custom made. There's lots of companies that do it.

Lastly, SOA? Spring over axle.

Thanks in advance.

Another issue with add-a-leafs for the H3, is that with a spring-under configuration, you'll actually be decreasing your clearance at the u-bolts. I added shackles a while back, and along with some other suspension upgrades, the truck rides and handles better than stock IMO. Plus there is added articulation in the back - not much, but every bit helps.

Thanks for explaining that, after I read your first statement I was confused over the crappy ride thing.

I'm curious as if Y31 tries Joe's method and even more curious about the results.

Keep us in the loop.
