Add a Leaf

So I have a 4 inch Rough Country Suspension lift and was trying to figure out the right add a leaf to strengthen my bed springs a little and give it a little bit of a lift. My rear seems to squat a little. Should I be able to add a leaf without having to change out my shocks? Was thinking 1 or 1.5 inch would work.

 

Gonna be totally dependant on what you currently have for lift. I am gonna assume there is some kind of lift already if 4in kit?

 

Typically if you add a leaf to a 2" block and factory springs, the add a leaf will lift temporarily and squat like it did before really quickly.

4" lift usually means 4 front 2 rear.

 

Yes, the rear is currently sitting on 2.5 inch lift blocks.

 

Wish there was some way to solve the issue. Unless I just buy all new leaf springs.

 

Don’t think aal will add any long-term height if you’ve been running the stock leaf packs with those blocks. You might be looking at replacing the leaf springs to get your rear end back up with 4in up front. Got any photos or hub to fender measurements?

Probably the best I got with a side shot on level ground. Certain stances you don’t really notice a squat.

 

Those 3.5 inch springs say it’s only for 3.5 inch lift. Wonder if half an inch is a big deal or not.
