Anyone Use Add-a-leafs?

I have a 04 F350 and installed a 2.5 rough country leveling kit last year and the rear of the truck sits about 1/2 lower than the front. I was considering using an Add-a-leaf...I have an Amazon Credit card and have some points I need to use.

Amazon.com: Tuff Country 82150 Add-A-Leaf: Automotive Amazon.com: Tuff Country 82150 Add-A-Leaf: Automotive

Think these will work alright?

I used a set of 3" add a leaf on my 2004 F-350. Only had on a little while but so far so good. I had to take the overload leaf pack off because I installed a full 4" lift block, but you should only have to get extended u bolts.

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever install this add-a-leaf? I am looking for one to install on my truck but don't want something too harsh.

YES and I love it! I had one in the front and it was HORRIBLE, so I added lift springs. BUT Inow the rear I couldn't be happier, I had a spring shop make me a custom long add a leaf that I wanted minimal lift (approximately 1"). It's been ten years and I still love the add a leaf, it gave me that extra payload and helped with squat just like I wanted, it helps keep the truck level in turns, and it didn't affect my ride quality at all

I had a 1" soft ride add-a-leaf added to the rear of my leveled 06 F250 and loved it. I now have a 2016 F350 SRW and have leveled it (raised the front 3") with HD coils. I have ordered a 1.5" - 2" long style rear add a leaf. Hope to take some of the squishyness out of the rear. For a one ton truck it rides like a caddy, and I need to carry a 4,000 lb Lance Camper. I am also adding a 2001-2004 chassis and cab upper auxiliary spring beneath my 2016 auxiliary spring to provide dual upper auxiliary springs.

I think the one for my 06 was Skyjacker. For my 16 it's this one:Auto Spring Corporation, Idaho's Largest Inventory of Auto and Truck Springs.

I was looking for a long leaf that would ride smoothly, give 1.5 - 2 of rear lift, and increase rear load carrying ability.
