Not to mention your personal safety. Get or make some axle blocks. Vedors here can hook you up with blocks and U bolts for a very reasonable price. Blocks will eliminate the need for geometry changes with regard to shocks and the panhard bar. 1.5 inches is very do-able with a reasonable tire profile. This truck is pictured on these 1" blocks and if you look at the block you'll see where I later added another 3/8" by making some "shims" to go with the block.

Ya man I was thinking about blocks do you have any idea the max you can go with blocks?
