That 4 post will be awesome. I'm hoping to get a lift when I finally build my shop.

I didn't realize you needed a whole new bed. Interested to see how this goes. I ended up getting a new tailgate, it was easier and cheaper than fixing mine. Plus now I have a back rest for a bench to sit on in my new shop...

Man you have enough leaf springs on there to trailer a 5th wheel

Yeah, I can definitely take out the lower three leaves and gain some drop but probably not as much as I want and I would have to get different u-bolts. I talked to my local spring shop and they didn't recommend re-arching them and wanted over $600 for a custom set. I can get a set of lowered springs for like $350 or spend the same for a flip kit and a c-notch so I've got some thinking to do.

The brown truck dropped off my drop leaves yesterday. These are advertised as 4", but comparing the thickness of the leaf stack to my stock HD leaves, I might get 5" of drop out of these. Can't wait to put these on this weekend and see where the back ends up!
