I have a 1998 2500 4x4. I have a extra set of leafs from another truck. They are identical to the ones I have on mine right now. I know about the longer u-bolts and the spring clamps. But has anyone else done this? I know it's going to ride rougher, I just want more height and be able to carry more weight. I don't want to buy just helper springs since I already have this set. I only paid $50 for the set. Any thoughts? pro's/con's?

 

Take them apart and make an add-a-leaf. then read this page.

great page, i just spent the last hallf hour laughing at other peoples **** ups lol

 

That **** makes me not want to drive next to lifted trucks wow you never know.

 

yeah you never know how its gonna be pieced together

 

lol nice.

 

Well you could.... nevermind. Last thing you need is anymore ideas.

 

if you do it........please post pics....and also let us know when and where you will be driving it so we can all steer clear of that area....please and thank you

 

Jack - Oh man, that's good stuff.

LilRed - I'm assuming you don't know what the spring rate is. Looks the same and is the same are two different things. Also, carrying more weight doesn't equal stopping more weight. No clue as to the amount of weight you want to carry but you will have to get everything ready to manage that extra weight.

 

Do what my brothers friend did and use soup cans for lift blocks,(on his chevy luv) no joke either and his name was bubba , serious as a heart attack!
