Rear leafs

Anyone on here running add a leafs? I'm considering adding some as I've found that my rear springs are pretty weak. Rough Country Add-A-Leaf Kits - JCWhitney these are the ones I'm looking at adding. My truck is a 1980 f150 extended cab 2wd.

You can add them but it will ruin your ride. They are supposed to be weak when the truck is empty, and when it's loaded it squats down till it hits the heavy leaf on the bottom. If I had the money I would run airbags.

I don't really care for ride quality as this truck is for work. Anyone recommend any good brands or any tips for installing an extra leaf?
