Question about add a leafs

I have a 6" suspension lift now but the rear of my truck sits approx 1.25" lower than the front and it drives me crazy. Someone had suggested putting on an add a leaf to raise it a little but I wasn't sure if it would work with the lift already installed. Any suggestions?

what was used toi lift the rear...if new springs were installrd it wont hardly do nething but make the ride stiffer, if blocks only were installed it will do the trick along with reducing axle wrap. if theres already an add-a-leaf in there then youll have to try something else

I disagree. If you add a 1.5 add-a-leaf it will raise the truck the desired amount but will make the ride stiffer as well.

It was raised with a block. I guess I'll try it and see, thanks for the input.

it wont raise the truck much if at all if an add-a-leaf is installed in lift springs because the already have a signifigant arch to them...it will mostly just make the ride stiffer. Since he just has lift blocks and stock springs it should do the trick

No pissing match Ho but most add-a-leafs are rated for a certain amount of lift. Why don't you think it would lift it? I have put these on factory springs and 10" springs and they have always produced a lift.

Question about add a leafs

The add-a-leafs have mass. There for, if stuck under the spring on top of the bloc, they will at least lift the truck the thickness of the add-a-leaf. If you only have one or two inch blocks, the cheapest way to go is to get 3 or 4 inch blocks, but this is not always a good idea.
