an add-a-leaf is a leaf u add to yer existing leaf pack in the rear. it stiffens the ride up a bit but not bad at all imho. and ofcourse it'll give a couple or so inches of lift. along with the lift springs up front u will need alignment brackets so u can align yer wheels after the lift. along with that it wouldn't hurt to get new shocks though they may not be needed. and while yer at it tack on a 3" body lift and some 33's and gear it with 4.56's and add a couple lockers... then u ought to be good to go.
Before the lift(Skyjacker AAL and coils) my truck sat level. Later on after the stuff had settled, I measured it again, and I had 2" of lift in the front. The rear was a little bit over 2", and it sits a little bit higher in the rear, but it looks perfect...except for the fact that you'll want more lift after installing it.
