Im going to have to look up LSPV seeing that I have no idea what that is,... also,... what do you think would be better,... to add a leaf or two,... i dont know how that works,... or just replace the whole leaf spring witha the OME? I saw in a toyo mag the add a leafs,... they sell by the pair and it says 3" lift for like 40 bucks? I guess I would buy one pair and that would lift the rear 3"? I mean if thats the case,... thats alot cheaper,... is it worth it though?

Ok,... I read about the LSPV,... basically,... if I lift the rear end and dont adjust the LSPV its going to think that bed of the truck is as light as a feather and the rear brakes probably wont kick in at all,... so in theory,... I have to raise it up by what ever my final lift is,... Gotcha,... does anyone manufacture this braket or whatever so I can just buy it or do I need to make one?

You could go with an add-a-leaf. Its a cheap way of doing it. Your gonna get a real stiff ride and less flex compared with the ome's. I know the ome's are kinda expensive but in my opinion they are worth it. I dont know of anyone that makes that bracket. Its really simple if you can find a peice of metal. Itd be like 5 inches long and and 1 or so wide. Just need to drill a couple of holes and bolt it up. But yeah you would need to raise the LSPV bracket the same amount as the lift you acheived. Ill take a picture of it here in the next couple of days to give you an idea of what you need.
