springs are stiff and the way they drop the passenger side axle bracket is a bad design. when the driverside axle compresses it will punch a hole into the diff. housing. also come with blocks for the rear. I ran one on the old suspension and it was ok for a little more ground clearence but I would definatly build my own if I were to do it again. but that is in the past now that I am SA in the front.

i have a rough country 2 1/2" lift on my fullsize. i would have to say that the rear spring's are very flexy. the front is stiff but for DD it does me just fine. i would consider running there rear spring's on a wheeling rig of the same size. i dont have any experiece with the b2 lift though. i'll post some pic's of rear flex tonight after work.

i have a 4" coming for my 88, i opted to go with block instead of new leafs in the rear..... the rear doesn't sag now so it should have a decent ride

i use my rig to tow or that was the plan DD and towing. i went with leaves due to the towing.
this is a pic of my DD on 31's and the lift see the rear tire clearance? the second pic is with the rear tire being stuffed into the wheel well.

when I said the springs were stiff I ment the front. the good thing about the rough country is they don't cost that much, but the other kits out there are not much higher and IMO you just get better brackets for the front.

I have the 4
' on my 88 and you need to install it the way they say. The drop bracket on the left side needes to be installed on the old bracket before you put it back on the frame. Some triming needs to be done on some of the kit. All in all it seams to be fine.
