Add-a-leaf stacked with blocks

Seeking advice, guidance and knowledge. I currently have installed the Rough County 6” kit on my 2021 chevy 1500 trail boss. I have the extended struts in the front and blocks in the rear. I’m looking for a tad bit more height without breaking the bank. I have been looking at various 1.5” and 2” add-a-leafs for the 19-22 rados. I’m curious if this is a good route to go for a little more lift in the rear that is cost effective. If this is okay to do will I need longer u-bolts or as most aal kits state you would not need longer u-bolt if applying to factory stock truck. I plan on doing a 2” lower strut spacer in the front to level it and gain around 8” overall lift. Seen guys do similar combination on fords and Tacoma’s but haven’t heard anyone run that kinda set up on the new silverados. Any advice or incites would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

It is recommended NOT  to reuse u-bolts. 

 

Not being familiar with the lift - but it might already include some amount of height gain through spacing in the strut assembly. Adding an additional spacer might over extend suspension geometry angles either ball joints or CV's.

They have add a leafs for the 19-22 Silverados.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/253794306418

Cognito has a Deaver pack add on that can gain 1-3". The bonus is it makes your leaf spring a progressive rate (replaces the overload leaf) and better ride. Add a leaf usually makes for a more harsh experience unless under load. It's $500. Cheaper than new leafs but probably more reliable than a taller block or a stiffer add a leaf.

BDS' is also releasing a coilover conversion for the rear end under project Velocity this year. Lot of room for lift.

I appreciate y’all responding, I have already found several leafs I’m looking at. Biggest question I have is it okay to stack a aal on a 6” lift block? If any what concerns are there to go with it? I have all the drop brackets for all the lines and have plenty of slack for a 2” lift gain.
