Add-a-leafs

General spring offers some add-a-leaf springs for the F250's that claims a 3" - 3.5" lift. Has anyone tried these? My springs are settling a bit and thought this may be a way to get it back up where it is supposed to be. I don't want to put big tires on or go through putting longer driveshafts in or anything like that.

I put 2" add-a-leafs on my 85 F-250, ended up about 3" taller. Couldn't realign the truck though. I had even added a 300lb+ bumper to the front to soak up some height. I sure 3"-3.5" will be way to much without the drop brackets for the axle beams. Find some leafs with less lift or you'll be eating through tires in a hurry.

Thanks for the info. I was a bit concerned about that. I guess I will just have to go with new leaf packs but those get expensive.
