Add a leaf question

What's the best place to buy a add a leaf kit for the rear? Would ebay have the best price? Also is there any brand that is better? Thanks

Probably eBay...You need an extra leaf though? I put 5000lbs of rock in the bed of mine, and damn near did a wheelie all the way home. Didn't drop an inch in the back.

Fordztuff. Are you kidding?! You must have a dually-1ton.

Yeah, I have the 2" leveling kit on mine up front and it's about a quarter inch higher up front now, but now I'm looking to get a travel trailer and I could use the extra muscle out back and it could afford to be a tad bit higher. Thanks, i'll check with autospring. I didn't know they made an add a leaf.

Nuh-uh...I have 2 F150's. Took my 08 to pick up a load of decorator rock for the trim in my backyard, and it was 4,780lbs according to the ticket...Oops, that's twice I misquoted myself. 3,780lbs were in the back. I know it says 1630lbs is the max you're supposed to put in it, but because it was rock, it was spread out evenly, and I had the tires overinflated by 15lbs. It made it!! I only went 30mph on back streets, and the roads were smooth. Truck still didn't squat.
