So I do quite a bit of towing/hauling so i installed a set of short AALs (rough country), which helped a little but not like I was hoping. Also I put diesel coils in the front and would like the rear jus a titch higher, since the rough countrys lifted the rear barely 2", probably more like 1.5". So I was wondering if it would possible to run the long style add a leafs in conjunction with the shorts? I dont care if it rides rougher which Im sure it would. Any input would be appreciated!

 

I don't see why not. Just need to get them in the right spot and have long enough u-bolts.

 

Ok thank you for the reply, jus wanted to run this by someone for a second opinion, lol. I THINK, the stock u bolts are long enough for another leaf, if not probably better to replace them anyway

 

how are those diesel coils working for you? I'd like a little more lift up front. I can actually see where my rear spring are actually sagging, so i was thinking about some Add a leafs or new leaf springs.

 

When you tow/haul, is your load relatively the same all the time? Or do you vary? Ergo, did you choose AALs based on this load? (I hope so)

I'm inferring that by getting the AALs to tackle the tow/haul droop that it was to also give you more un-sprung lift and its not enough to your liking?

By your last question, it seems you are looking to cobble together something. It's hard to suggest anything given that towing/hauling is the premise, which could be "handling" issue (e.g., underrated rear end for the load).

So I'll go with....get an air bag tow package suspension system and you'd be golden.

 

Under spring pack overloads from a JY will give a little bit of lift, and help your towing capactiy.

 

Load varies quite a bit, mostly farm work and such (livestock trailer, machinery, feed, ect, should have a 2500 lol). Im just really wanting the rear not to sag when loaded and possibly add jus a little lift when empty, i know alot of people use airbags and if i was towin down the interstate more that would be the way to go, but jus for around the farm i just thought id look into two adda leafs. I'll have to do some more thinkin and thanks for the input!

 

Oh i like them alot, a little rougher riding but not like i expected at all and it sits awesome. Add a leafs would be the easiest/cheapest way to go for you, you get a little lift and i couldnt notice a difference in ride quality (i got the short ones, probably makes a difference)
