add a leaf

Where can I get a 1.5" spring kit for the front and a 1" kit for the rear?

any variation would work too, such as 2" front and 1.5" rear

I used a Tuff Country for the front of mine. I raised the front just over 1.5'', and took about 4 hours with just hand tools to install. I got mine at Les Schwab, a local tire and alignment store, but I think you can get them at most any 4x4 accessory shop. The front kit I used cost $99.

I have a used set of front sitting out back... I believe Tuff Country. They came on the truck, and I couldn't stand them - just made the ride way to harsh. I replaced with new Tuff Country EZ ride spring packs. Add-a-leaf may be more bearable on your truck with the extra weight of diesel sitting on them. I'll make you a rippin' deal on them if you pay shipping.... PM me.

Not sure on the rear....

I don't want my truck to lean back when I have a load, so I also want rear,

also, anyone plow with the front ones?

i put a one inch tuff country add a leaf in the front of my f-350 and love it. except the factory springs now axle wrap when i use 4wd because they sagged so much. i took my rear springs to a spring shop and had a custom long add a leaf made its now third from the top main leaf. gave me a little lift in the rear and it really helped with payload and it fixed some axle wrap.

Is it hard to install it? And how has it helped after you installed?
