hey guys i blew a lift block the other day and i figured it would be a good time to go to 6 inch lift leaf springs, ut a 600 dollars a set its a little out of my price range. i did find a set of 4 inch add a leafs from superlift for less than 200 shipped and i was wondering what were the pros and cons of addaleafs

Pros of an AAL: Easy way to lift the rear, easy to install, helps supports loads better (less sag in the back), looks stock

Cons of an AAL: Stiffer ride, requires new u-bolts (usually have to have them custom made), doesn't flex that great

That's all I can think of right now.

This thread makes me smile.

<---


Piece together a leaf pack from some used Deavers, or K20 leaves. It will be 100 times better then any add-a-fail, will ride much better, won't look like ***, and will probably be about the same price.
