Well guys anyone tried an add a leaf up front my springs are still sagging tried to get some sky jackers but I was told 6-7 weeks from both places up here so is AAL a good alternative,

How much lift do you need? here is 1'':

I used a bottom overload off a 2wd rear springs and put them under the the front it gave about 1 1/2 " it needs to be a overload with an arch not a flat one then you just grind the head round on a grd8 bolt for the spring center bolt. it works great.

Brian.B

when you say bootom overlaod spring do you mean the bottom thick spring from the main spring set or one from a seperate over load spring set,,im kinda confused and could you use a grade 8 hex head bolt for a center bolt,,,,

Some leaf spring packs don't have a flat thick overload, some have a thinner but more curved overload and I think that's what Rebal is talking about.

BILTIT

Overload like this top spring would work, right?

9MM

Depends on the length of it if it's to short n your leafs sag at all they might bend over the ends of the overload n brake and well lets just say if you brake a front main leaf I don't wanna be in the truck with you when it happens.

What about these here guys? http://www.jcwhitney.com/add-a-leaf-...d18053y1990j2#

BILTIT

Yup, those are usually used to for small lift kits to gain some lift. Stiffens the ride though, hence the reason i like the 1'' bolt on block better. All depends on how much lift you need?

9MM

Yeah but I don't wanna run blocks on the front and my front leafs are sagging I wanna bring em back up a little till I can get my skyjacker leafs. Plus the truck already rides rough so I'm used to it now.

Oh here's another idea http://www.jcwhitney.com/adjustable-...d18048y1990j2# .

BILTIT

They are not like regular blocks as they bolt to the leaf spring like a regular add-a-leaf but don't affect the spring rate. I have them in the front of mine, many a chevy crowd run them front and back.

9MM

Do you have a pic of them in there I guess one inch isn't much really.

BILTIT

I have at home, will post it after work.

BILTIT

I have them front and back.

9MM

Interesting I might try em out thinking of the skyjacker AAL too then go from there on my ride height.

rebal

ya that will work I used one from the bottom of the pack ,but it was arched like the top one in this pic. no matter it will lift the front and the the ride was still ok with the cummins on top,
