M1078 Lift Kit for leaf spring?

I drive 53“ on my M1078. Drives Great and much better rpm at 55-60mph. The tires are big and the front end is lower the the rear. I think to install a lift spacer at the front between axle and suspension can help a lot. Any experience with something like that on a LMTV?

Best regards alex

Lift blocks are not a good idea on the front of any truck. Maybe add another tapered leaf to the front. Maybe a mrap spring would work. Silverstate55 has some of those parabolic mrap setups for a great price

You might also be able to lengthen the shackle.

If you never plan to carry any weight in the back, why not look into having a leaf removed.

I know it was done to civilian trucks to soften the ride on "cowboy Cadillacs" as we used to call them (all truck and no cattle).

Those were standard leaf springs and not parabolics like on the 1078s. Maybe he could add a 1000lb plate to the bed and secure it so it would actually ride a little better with the weight.
