Ok complete reverse in my dad.... He is saying now we should buy new leaves and supposedly my shocks are under lifetime warranty (neverheard of that... Is it bs?) then sell the leaves and get a lift later.... Irk how to counter that

lifetime warranty????? do u have receipts of purchase??? i've never heard of anything like that. and what do u mean selling leaves? used leaves?
it's gonna cost you about $300 to get a set of leaves. and you'll be lucky if you can sell them later for about $100 a set.
another option is having them made for you. we have a shop in Roanoke, VA that makes leaf springs for any vehicle with any arch and hardness for about $100 per side.
either way, if you buy new leaf springs, add-a-leaf should hold up pretty good on them. it's the old and crappy leaf pack that makes them sag usually.

Ya I was very unsure on the shocks. Shocks wear out quick and lifetime? Wow. He said he found leaves on morris4x4 for 99$ a side. And yes he meant sell the new ones when I lift.

i doubt you could even get 100 for a set, at least around here you cant. All the leafs i see are like 20 bucks for the set. Tell him noone wants to buy used leafs so it would be a waste of money. Also you may be able to try the 2 inch lift then spacer and shackles approach.
