    Need a little help selecting leafs packs. So I recently did the 5100 adjustable with the new Falken At4. My truck sits nice however I notice a slight sag in the rear. I still have stock leafs. I see a lot of leaf packs that add height. Is there a leaf pack thats just stronger and wouldnt add any lift?

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    As mentioned the RAS could be a good option for you otherwise if I remember correctly General Springs makes a minimal to no lift set of springs

    rxt icon, you can choose different settings, i set em at 3rd stage because of heavy rear bumper and more equipment to install in nearest future, but you also need to lift front. you can buy ome springs and install em in front
    if you dont need lift just use the 1(defualt setting) on rxt

    it sounds like you want to add lift.? if your rear is "sagging" with no extra weight in the bed. then yeah just get an add a leaf. multi leaf packs for no extra weight. single leaf aal for running extra weight

    i tried AAL 1.5" icon - with additional 100lbs weight of rear bumper it went down for 1".
    you are right about small lift with 1 setting rxt icon, my bad. but i believe it will go down with small weight or settling process

    OP- save your time and just order a new leaf pack. The factory leafs sag with a cooler in the bed, and the RXT or any “ADD a Leaf” are temp fixes, they will sag themselves within a year(ask me how i know). Alcan makes some good factory height springs, deaver stage 1 are also very nice too(provides 1.5in lift). All depends on bed weight(accessories and gear) and intended usage.

    How do you define the words “better”, “sag”, and “lift”?

    Are you saying you want a leaf pack with a higher spring rate (stiffer) that will maintain stock ride height when not loaded? If so, I’m not aware of a such a product on the market, but I know you can have custom leaf packs made by Alcan.

    https://www.alcanspring.com

    Note that "better" is in the eye of the beholder. A stiffer spring like the one I described above will tend to decrease the ride quality. If the ability to carry more weight is more important than ride quality, then such a spring is "better", otherwise it might not be.

    Personally, I have leaf springs that are similar in stiffness to the stock springs, but provide about 2" of added ride height (lift). For me this is "better". I wanted more clearance without sacrificing ride quality.
