Placement of add-a-leaf

[Charlie's_93EB]

well,
where is the best place to put the end of the new leaf?

Where it is in the mock up photo,
or will it be better to move the leaf back more to the rear and have the new leaf sit on the longest leaf only, about 4" more to the rear?

thanks
charlie

LOL, thats what I was thinking what the hell is that in the pic

ok, it a leaf spring helper, thats not the same thing??

Nope. Add-A-Leaf is just another leaf that gets sandwiched between the stock leafs.

I've never seen one of those before. Oh, and your tires arent wearing evenly

lol

helper springs are used to increase payload capacity, they will make your leaf pack had to compress and def limit flex if you tried to off-road with them....and if you want to insatall that properly it needs to be centered under the axle tube

i'd worry about those tires before i'd start adding leafs.

just do a spring over axle conversion, #### the add a leafs. once you get that extra inch your gonna want more.

 

[smashdn]

is there a sticky on or could someone enlighten me on how to do the spring over conversion? That is just moving the leaf springs up over the rear axle right? How much lift will I gain and can I do that by myself at home in the garage? What other steps should I take in addition to the spring over move?

i know that was my left front tire, "pre alinement" and besides that they are call "ATRS" all terrain racing slicks

limit flex if you tried to off-road with them....

i do not plan on flexing much FL is more is less flat

and if you want to insatall that properly it needs to be centered over over the axle tube

well looking at the instuctions it really looks like it should be under the pack

 

[dman726749]

[Charlie's_93EB]
