    Hi, I did a little looking around for help with this but couldn’t really find anything helpful. I heard about people complaining about these leafs because they are so soft, even talking about them making the ride more harsh because they are constantly bottoming out on the bumpstops. I don’t carry anything in the bed of my truck therefore I have a pretty bumpy ride in the rear, would these help that? If not, what’s a good alternative? Most of my offroading is in the desert, nothing crazy but I would like a smoother suspension.

    What’s a good example of a shock that would be good? I’m assuming king? Adding a 3leaf AAL to stock leaf?

    Gotcha. I saw a post about a guy who had one of his shocks blow out with this set up, I just wanted to make sure that it was user error and that it’s not gonna happen to me.
