Then if there is no difference would you still spend the money and do springs?

I would do springs for the initial lift. If I wanted to boost it 1-2 more inches I would save the money and to spacers and shackles.

Yep

Skipper

Thanks man!
I was willing to spend the cash, no problem, if it would make a difference but saving the cash is good too.

Can anyone describe to me these...(noises Etc...)? Please and thanks
Bad u-joint
Tranny mount
Bad rear end

1plunk

I know, with mine at least, when my ball joints when south, whenever I braked I would hear and feel a clunk on my driver side (this was the side that needed replacing) and I replaced it and no more clunk. Dont have experience with the other two

You can hear bad u-joints squeaking when you go through a drive through, they also can give a vibration at speed that is felt more in the seat than anywhere else, will come and go with different speeds, usually between 30-45mph. Tire balance is usually felt from 45-60. Trying to cure vibrations after 65 is pretty much pointless, esp. In these trucks.

Bad tranny mount can cause what feels like harsh shifts/engagements. If you romp the gas from a stop, more often than not a bad mount will let the trans come up and hit the tunnel and you would hear a "thud"

Bad rearends can make all sorts of sounds. Bearings make more noise when they are loaded. See if the pitch/tone changes with or without throttle, or from swerving side to side.

It like shakes my seat and rattles the center council. Vibrations from 0-35 mph then goes away... Or when you let off the gas it quiets down a bit almost to no vibs.

I'm driving a mobile vibrator

Mines the same way except mine wobbles from 57 - 70

Lol well I have 2 u joints at work I put off to the side for Saturday. Along with finishing the front lift sick of rat rodin around. I think my " piņon " bearing is going bad tho. If I tap the gas and let off it clunks in the rear and if I have my hand on my transfer case I can feel it
