Add a leaf question

I was thinking about replacing the stock block in my lift system with an add a leaf, as some of you suggested since I have the blocks stacked right now (stock and lift). I was looking at Suspension Connection and a pair of add a leafs is really cheap, only $55.

What I was wondering is how do these things work? Do they replace the stock block? I see that I can get them in 2" or 3" so I figured I would need to get the size closest to the size of the block. But I was also wondering about the bump stop on the stock block. I guess if I get rid on it I would need some limiting straps or something to limit the amout of travel, correct?

I also have the airbags in here. They came with the truck lucky for me.

Once again, thanks a ton for all the help. I really appreciate it.

Are the add-a-leafs you're looking at short or long leaves?

I'm guessing that 55 dollar set is short. if not, hook a brother up with the URL lol.

short will stiffen teh ride alot more, but give you a bit more lift

long aal's will give a less harsh ride, but they wont give you as much lift

Can you recommend a place where I can look for some?

Also, will I need a limiting strap of some sort?

Thanks.
