Just want to know who has the B and F spring rates and what they use for lift??

Add a Leaf
or
Warrior Shackels

Reason being that I am wondering if it will ride too stiff in the rear. It has the tow package so it is a bit stiff as is.

As well Doing a TT will make the front stiffer, correct. So possibly it will be balanced better (spring rate wise) with the Add-A-Leafs.

Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

If you're worried about being too stiff, then use the shackles. They won't change the ride much at all. The TT will stiffen it up a bit, but not too much. You might eventually decide to do both shackles and addaleafs in the rear. You'd get a bit more than 2", and have the spring strength to tow a lot.
 






I agree the shackles don't change the ride much at all.

I will probably do the add a leaf too to add some strength, but it still tows pretty well with the shackles.
 






Yea I am not sure how it would ride. I put the Gabriels on 2 days ago and they made an unbelieveable difference. Best 80 bones I have spent all month.

I am not sure that many people here have the F and B springs with Add-A-Leaf. Just wanted to see how they thought it rides.

Just thinking of getting more clearance without making it look like a franken-ford.
 






I tow a 3000# plus boat on occasion. But it rode like crap the last time but I think it was due to the shocks being old. I should try it with the Gabriels on.

Just rained may have to go gind some mud.
 






what are gabriels
