Rear add-a-leaf for the 2003
Rear add-a-leaf for the 2003
Anyone know if any of the major off road parts manufacturers sells an add-a-leaf for the 2003 Rams? All that I've found is the leaf with the single centering bolt; not the dual centering bolts like we need. I need to add just a little more heigth to the rear end, and a tad more carrying capacity. As it is right now, with a 500 gallon water tank in the bed, I'm on the overloads pretty hard! I figure a front leveling kit will be down the road as well.

DOH! i missed your signature
, Dude you are way over your payload rating. If you were drw you would still be over. You may want to consult a HD spring shop or install air ride.....

I wouldn't say way over the payload rating for the 3500, but just slightly ;D I'm convinced those numbers are under rated anyhow. With the 500 gallons of water it's on the overloads, but not so bad that the front end is looking into the sky. I finger with 1 extra short leaf it will prolly stay level with that much weight. You wouldn't believe all the idiots that show up with the same tanks in the beds of 1/2 ton trucks. You want to see a bumper drag on the ground, that's where it is! One day some dude rolled up in a Toyota P/U with a 350 gallon tank that he later filled to the lid. After driving less than 20 feet he had to stop and drain most of it out to avoid having the springs snap in two! Anyhow, I'll keep bug'n the off-road manufacturers untill they make an add-a-leaf with the 2 centering holes for the 2003 Dodges. Soposedly there is a lift kit comming onto the market with these springs??? If nothing else, I could prolly buy a set of the leafs for the single centering bolt and drill the holes myself where they need to be. I just wish Dodge would have used the same lift blocks they used on my 2001.5 3500. The new trucks just don't have that same aggressive stance that the pre 2003's have
