add a leafs

what would say are the best add a leafs for their price b/c im looking to not only raise up my back end but significantly increase my load capactiy. i put in a massive tool box and i noticed a huge difference and now that i have a leveling kit its a little well more level than i wanted i was hoping for a taller back
are the pro comp 4,000 lbs ones any good and about how much do they run?
is the ride any stiffer
and how high can i be raised im looking for 2 - 3 inches is this too much

thanks

I can't speak for the weight capacity of the add-a-leafs, but I know skyjacker sells the same set that my 3" lift kit came with. I have hooked a pretty large trailer to it and It definitely didn't sag as much. I was actually surprised how nice the ride was, I figured it would have made it rough as hell, but its not to bad. I think the skyjackers can be bought for under $120.

I have the pro comp add a leaf, with a fabtech 6" lift. It gave me about 1.5 to 2" lift in the rear and did not hurt the ride at all. I like it better with the add a leaf. I dont think you will feel much of a change. They set 3 leafs down from the top so they dont bind as much as you may think. It is a good match for your tool box.
