Auto Spring Add A Leaf w/Pics

Here are some pics of the autospring add a leaf after it was installed. It gave me about 1.75inches of lift for the rear. I have the 2.5 leveling kit on the front and 305/65/18's. I had taken some pictures of the whole install process and was going to do a writeup for those who may want to attempt it themselves, but my SD card decided to crap out on me when I was taking the after shots and I cannot get the install pics off of it, but if I can retrieve them I will add them.

Looks real nice. I'm not going to ask why you're taking pics of you rig in front of the local nail salon. I guess its safe to assume you needed a manicure after the install.

How does it ride after installing the leaf springs? Much of a difference over stock? Looks really nice though....wouldn't it be nice if they came from the factory with a stance like that

Very nice!

Out of curiosity, what kind of exhaust do you have?

Brian - It rides a bit stiffer, not too bad though. I am waiting to see how it does with my trailer hooked up. I am hoping it will help out a lot with that.

MBB - The exhaust was on the truck when I bought it. Its a flowmaster muffler and they guy before me had the pipes bent and out the rear on both sides. Its nice and loud when I am getting on it but it is quiet when idleing or cruising. A nice difference from my last Jeep with the V8 that I had a strait pipe on...I couldnt hear myself think on the highway.

Thanks guys.

450GUY - Install them yourself too. Very easy to do if you are somewhat mechanically inclined.
