I wanted to get your guys opinion about what would work best for my truck. (I used search and got very different opinions and facts) I have installd the WAR 153s in the rear of my 97 EB. This leveled it out, but I couldnt do a TT up front. The 153s gave me about an inch is all, mabey because I heard the stock EB shackels are already longer than other models. If I install an Add-a-leaf, do you think I will get enough lift to do a TT. I dont want to wast the time and effort to do a TT and alignment if I will only get around .75 inch in the rear. What do you think, and thanks for the advise.
 






Oh yea, if you have replies with measurements or numbers of what your add-a-leaf did, please tell me what brand you bought. Thanks!
 






Firstly, it might not be lifting it much due to the air ride system. I think you have to disable that if you have it on your truck.

There are 2 ProComp addaleaf kits. The single is $27 and normally gives .75-1". The double is about $75 and gives 2-2.5". These prices are ballparks from 4WheelParts.

Good luck!
 






Alec, I dont think the air ride makes a difference. The only time it turns on is if I am putting a heavy load in the back, if I park on surface that is uneven, or if I put it in 4 HI or lo. (I have AWD). I do notice after installing my shackles a while back I will sometimes get a message on my cpu to "Check Air Ride System". If I causes a prob I will just turn it off. Thanks for the help.
