Yes, they are easy. They do lift the back. They are actually very curved and change the curvature of the stock leafs.

You just need to be able to remove those u-bolts.

The Add-a-leafs gave me a good 2" extra in back.

Never late for a Tee time or wheelin with my buddies! Always ready for both!!!

hey forexfour, i was just wondering what company could give me just 2in add a leafs for the rear, b/c that's exactly what i'm looking for. also, i love your rig, i've been checking out your website and following your rig since well before you put your lift on there and were running 33's off stock suspension. I posted a message earlier about coil spacers to give me the extra 2 inch lift in the front and the add a leaf for the rears, but someone responded coil spacers are only for 2x4. Is that right, and will a two inch crank of the torsion bars be to much for them to handle. I've got a 3in pa lift with 33x12.50x15, and i'm all ears. thanks for any help

Yes coil spacers are for 4x2's. You need to crank your torsion bars to raise the front.

The add a leaf is only about a half inch thick and the extra curve to the leaf makes it so you get more lift out of it.

I got 2.5" of lift from the leaf and it sagged to 2" and should stay there.

Thanks for enjoying and keeping up with the trips and mods.
