ok, me again...i'm going to get an add-a-leaf for my rear...well, not my rear(although it would take the importance of lunges away)...but, the truck. do i go with a short leaf, or a long one? i'm going to ue it in conjunction with a rear block until i get my shackle flip kit.

i'm not really wanting a 5.5" rear spring pack as the ride will be kinda stiff and jumpy...and my truck is light 'n fluffy in the tail anyway. but then again, pro comp has a 5.5" rear pack for $108...hmmmmm

talk to me goose...uh, gooses.....uhmm, talk to me geese!

I'd personally go with the longest overload leaves/add a leaves you possibly can. This way if the leaves are ever actually tested with a lot of weight, it supports the whole pack, not just a small part. When heavy weight is applied with the short AAL's, the ends of the AAL serve as a pivot point that the springs can actually bend around. Just something to ponder...

LOL It's difficult to not make rear jokes... Must control jokes...
