I got RC 3 1/2" lift. I feel like the rear springs are a bit flimsy regardless of the improvements of the actual construction over the years.
I do not want the rear end to end up higher. Would this be a good way to go to get rid of the block and also get an upgrade at the same time? Thinking also with the bigger spare tire that will bring it down a bit so my rear doesn't rise up!
Also EMU, I think it was them, only has the diesel engine option when you input your info, does that matter?

So Ond Man EMU has a lift kit for us with the EcoBoost engine. I actually have it and I can tell you the lift is nice. How much does it lift from stock in the rear? 1.6 inches. Doesnt sound like much to most but is is enough for Offroad. Here are some pictures of my truck with the OME lift!!

I already have a lift kit on. I'm just looking to beef up the leaf springs and get rid of the block. Does that kit come with new leaf springs, and can you just buy the rear set up? Not looking to replace the front or shocks. Just leaf springs.
