Add-a-Leaf

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 02-Jan-03 AT 10:32 PM (EST)]Has anyone tried a set of add-a-leafs to raise your truck. These are not overload springs or helper springs. This is just to lift the back of my truck so it`ll be level with the front( about 1.5-- 2.5 inches). I`m thinking about ordering these from Summit. Sure would like to hear some input on these before I order!! Thanks!!

`82 F-250 Custom** 4x4 ** 351W ** 39.5--15x16.5** SS- TSL`s ** 6" Lift ** Granny 4-speed**** If you can`t run with the BIG DOGS , stay on the porch!!!

Actually they are overload springs but add-a-leaf is a prettier name.
I installed 2 inch add-a-leafs and got about 1 inch of lift on a ranger. I would expect the same for a larger truck
