Lift question
Im going to be putting 2 add a leafs on the back of my truck. 97 1/2 ton dodge. And a set of 3/4 ton springs up front. It already has a leveling kit up front so i was wondering if i would still be able to use that with the new springs? And the leafs say that they will give you 1.5-2.5 inches of lift. Do you know if that is per spring? And has anybody used these? http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-and-Shocks/Rear-Add-A-Leaf-Kit.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=399&t_pt=5488&t_pl=1853&t_pn=EX P13120
If you have the spacer leveling kit up front then yes you can use the 3/4 ton springs with the spacers.
Are you saying you want to add 2 add a leafs to each side ?
If so, probably not a good idea, will most likely ride very rough.
also going that high you are going to need to change other things as well
like an adjustable trac-bar and maybe pitman arm and control arms

Yep, that's too much lift for stock componets on the front. You'll need a trac bar drop bracket, longer control arms, a drop pitman arm and sway bar drop brackets. For the back I've never ran across 2 aal's stacked together but I don't think it'd work. They basically just re-arch the springs and anything over 4" or so and the springs get too short to bolt back up.
So id be better off getting a single set of 3 inch lift springs for the back. I was going to do the add a leaf because i need it stiffer in the back because i haul a lot if firewood and it doesnt handle it too well now
Like 97tn4x4 said, if you try to arch your factory springs to much they will come up short and you have issues
You can use the 3" add aal with out any worries about spring length, they work fine, the ride is a little stiffer but not that bad. 3" is the max lift for the front of these trucks before you need to start replacing other parts.
