Add a leaf springs ?????

I have a 2000 F350 CC 4x4 with a leveling kit. Can I add the add-a-leaf kit to the front and rear without any problem other than a stiffer ride? My main purpose for this is to re-arc the springs. Thanks AL

you should be able to do this but you will need new center bolts and may need to have new u-bolts as they may not be long enough. this may also stress the steering linkage as you have already leveled it. may need to look intoa drop pitman arm. but if re-arcing the springs is what you want it won't exactly do that. it will raise your truck but simple adds more support to the existing springs.

I had helper springs addded to the rear of my truck to help carry my slide in camper and I hate them. I didnt need them either I dont think. They make the truck ride like a tank.
