[psfr311]

does anybody have any pros/cons to getting add a leafs from advanced auto parts?
are they decient or crap? and if they are what is a good brand to look at

Is this for the lift? or the Towing? My father-in-law put leaf helpers in his, picked up the rear real nice and pulls his 16-20 ft tandem axle nice with any load... I have air shocks to adjust the rear to any height depending on how much weight is put on the truck... still pulls nice and installs easily...

add-a-leaf and helpers, as far as I was told, you have to remove the gas tank to install

just my .02

well actually my thought was. i have a little bit of sag. very minor. so i figured the add a leafs would fix the sag and the ones i was looking at added 2in of lift. so possibly kill 2 birds with one stone. the added towing is nice also

I run a RCX add a leaf, I have no issues with them. They will stiffen the ride a little bit but they work just fine

my rides a little soft in the rear anyways so i could use a little stiffining

i cant say anything about the advance spring, but my rcx add a leaf did its job at first, than once i started towing the mud trucks they started to sag a bit.

Disassembled the rear packs, slipped 3 additional leaves in between the stock leaves, then used a 1/2" Grade 8 bolt to bolt them all back together. Gained me about 2 1/2" of lift, noticeably less sway in turns, and a big increase in load capacity. I've carried over 2200lbs in the back without bottoming out.

Thank you for getting a good U bolt. I run 5/8" OD grade 8 on mine.
