When I bought my truck the guy said it had a 6" lift from Les Schwab. It looked like a 6" lift, so I trusted the guy.

When I looked at the receipt from Les Schwab it says I have an add leaf on the receipt. I do not have blocks int the back, or front, so it is all leaf springs.

I guess my question is I wonder if the lift was like a four inch lift and he got add leafs from Les Schwab to put it at a 6 inch lift.

Is there any way to tell if you have add a leafs?

Thanks,

Kyle

 

You can look at your spring pack, and see if there are any differences between leafs. Usually the ends have some rounding, or a certain shape. Usually they are a little different between manufactures. Not always the case. But thats a good way to start. Often they put a cheesey clamp to hold the leaf spring pack together also, since normally the one that should hold the pack together wouldnt be long enough for the added leaf. Just a couple of basics to look for.

 

The springs do have a clamp on the spring pack about in the middle. How do you tell if it is an add a leaf or just maybe part of the spring pack.

thanks

 

Can you get a picture of the clamp, and the ends of the leaves all together?

 

I will go out and clear the snow off and see if I can get a good pict.
Thanks

Here are the photos of my lift.

 

I hope that link works.

 

That goes to a login screen?

 

I dont have a webpage or place to share photos. The webpage will not alow me to upload picts. How can I upload without a weblink?

 

It looks like that costco thing should do what you think it does. It should give you links on a per picture basis. The generic link, to the whole folder, looks like you have to login.

Lets try this:

Doesnt look like an add a leaf to me, unless it was the same brand spring. Even then, the spacing between the ends of the leaves looks pretty consistant. Usually with an add a leaf, its not that way. They are usually a generic length. So maybe the lift was from Les Schwab. Maybe the front is were the add a leaf is?

 

Hmmm well it seems that Les Schwab screwed up on the receipt. It does not say what brand or anything. It just says add-a-leaf. Kinda weird. I thought something was fishy.

 

Can you guys see all 8 photos?
