I had a question for yall. I will be putting together my lift over time, since its a project i am in no big hurry to get the lift under my truck.

SO... here is my plan.

front
6" spring, ORD Heavy Duty Front Shackles, 1" Zero Rate Add a Leaves

Rear
2.5" springs, 4" Shackle Flip, 1" Zero Rate Add a Leaves

The tire i will be running are 37x14 Iroks.

So, what's the question? I see a plan of attack, but no tech question. Sounds like a reasonable lift, but i don't see the need for the 1" zero rate add-a-leaves
 
They should fit just fine on a German Unimog.....
seriously what kind of vehicle we talking about
 
Yeah, they'll definitely clear! The biggest thing to keep in mind is tire and rim width along with backspacing on the rims. Thus the reason I can run 39s on such a small amount of lift, plus the front axle is 1.5" forward from the stock location with use of the ZeroRates.

I prefer a larger tire with less lift, plus I'm kinda short and anything higher than what I have would be quite difficult.

For a mental image...I've parked next to a stock F-250 and a 2500 Dodge on 35s with a leveling kit and they're all about the same height. My truck is about 7'4". Just shows you that it might not have a huge presence, but it'll get the job done without being overly huge. It's all your preferene though.


Oh, and won't the rear be higher than the front?
 
I was just curious, added all together the front is 7 and the rear is 7.5. I know it's not a big difference, but I don't care for the rear of my truck to be higher than the front. Again, personal preference.
