Add-a-leaf?

[95chev]

I'm not looking for a lot of lift just a little stiffer ride and a little better tire clearance. So is it worth it? How hard are they to install? Whats a good kit for me to look into? Also I need to do all 4 shocks so what would you recommend? If anyone has any before and after pics I would appreciate that too.

This was mine with an RCX AAL and crank up front on 305/70/r16s. I have since then lifted it and pulled out the AAL and went with 3/4 ton leaf springs which I like a lot better

Was it pretty easy to install? I've never really messed with suspension components on these trucks

I actually didn't install it so I don't know what to tell you on that on. I did put the 3/4 ton leaf springs on myself and that wasn't to hard took me and my dad an afternoon

So you just used one leaf and then the overloads? And i'm assuming the stock keys have enough room to crank level with reasonable angles?

yes they are and yeah I used the 3/4 ton over load cuz it was thicker

Probably about half an inch. My AAL when settled was still probably near 3". The 3/4 ton leaf springs raised it about 2 1/1"

With the 3/4 ton leaf springs you dont have to take apart the leaf pack itself. The whole pack goes in place of your current one
