first i am to the mod on our trucks and i have looked on the forums and some people use the kit from top gun customz. well the problem is i don't know where to place it the directions say under the longest leaf, but there all the same length if you guys can help thanks

 

Welcome to FTE. Sometimes it takes a little while to get an answer, but be patient. i am sure someone will help out soon.
I haven't done the add a leaf yet, so I can't really address your question, but someone here will.

Come on gang, how about a little help for fordguy712???

 

hey there welcome to FTE!! first off are you doing this to the front or rear of your truck? and what kind of truck do you have?

 

I would guess he is on the fronts but please do clarify if not. I haven't seen the kit nor could I find info online with a quick search but most add a leafs in the front go on the bottom of the spring pack.

 

its going in the front of my 96 f350 psd thanks for the info guys

 

i would use the kit from jc whitney, they are the cheapest place i've found

 

i got some spare springs from a frinds truck. it was a toyota with a 6.5 diesel stuffed in it with a 3 foot lift. he gave me the spare springs out of the front. would they work?

 

scratch jc whitney, they dont list 350's anymore, but summit has several choices, i prefer skyjacker suspension components myself

i have the skyjacker add a leafs up front and i love it. it sure leveled up my truck. im pretty sure its the same for a 350 but all you do for the 250's is put a c clamp in the middle of the spring, a big bench vise came in handy here. remove the bolt holding the old spring together **and very carefully depress the c clamp. add the leaf to the bottom of the pack (also a good time to replace the wear pads and paint everything)paying attention to which side has more leaf(the hole isnt centered front to back) slide the new bolt in the hole , then tighten the c clamp and pull all 3 together. once the c clamp is tight, tighten/torque the new bolt to 20-25 ft lbs (depending what size bolt it is, it will tell you in the directions) i also replaced the bushings at that time (2 on the spring, and 1 on the shackle). that is what i went through when i did mine. good luck

 

Skyjacker makes good stuff.
The longest leaf technically is the leaf that bolts on to the brackets.
if its longer then the other leafs in there, put it closest to that, if it was shorter, I would match it appropriately to the nearest size.

thanks for your guys help its looks good on my truck. i'll have to post some pics
