an add-a-leaf adds one more leaf to the stock spring pack. Its the cheap way to get more lift or load carrying capacity but makes it ride stiff. If there are any spring shops in your area the can rearch your spring to get lift. my neighbor got his rears done and they got i tihnk it 6" of lift with the stock pack and it rides softer then stock.

Really!? that would be awesome. Sounds like it would be pretty cheap. Would they eventually sag back down? and i would put new shocks right?

i dont know how long it take for them to sag. depending on how long your shocks are and how much lift you may need to change shocks. my neighbor paid around $700 for 6 billstein shocks, rearch rears, and airbag spacers. everything disasembled and put back together by them.

ok the stock pack does only have 2, thanks daboostcreep for catching my mistake. I would think a spring place could get alot of lift out of that front end if it had an extra leaf but idk. Try to get a picture of the rest of the front suspension and steering to see if it has an drop brackets. How much lift are you trying to get?

thanks guys. Ill take some pics tomorrow. I dont need much, 4" should be plenty. I heard that bending the springs does "something bad" to them. I could see why it would make them weaker but what do you guys think?
