Depending on number of clamps an locations...not that stiff at all. And before you ask I did have a diagram that showed different clamp locations for different applications..ie. Towing, traction an such...can't find the dam thing now...an I ain't crazy either....

COOKIE!!!! find that diagram... that would be neat im assuming the towing would be the stiffest ride... what did you go with on yours... like which setup and you would be able to look at your rear leifs and see where your clamps are

a block would be easier and less stiff. and cheaper too.

if you want 5 inches out of your rear springs an add-a-leaf wont do it, you need spring paks

whats on there now? 5 inch blocks. in the front its stock springs and spacers? and you want to get rid of the spacers and put taller springs? and in the rear you want to lower the shackles and do an add-a-leaf? if thats the case the idea for the rear doesnt make sense, lowering the shackels will make it easier to damage them off roading and it will look funny too. theres no reason you cant put an add-a-leaf with your blocks. with an add-a-leaf you get like 1 or 1.5 inch of lift.

wanting to keep the 2" spacers in front and replace stock springs with 5" taller springs...
in rear came stock with 3" block P.O. added a 2" block= 5" tall block in rear...
so i wanted to use add-a-leif to gain like 1-2" and bring my shackels down like 2" to compensate for the rear sitting lower how else would i compensate if i didnt drop the shackels

so youre 2 inches over stock now? and you want another five right? if thats the case youre gunna have to get spring paks. now you need to worry about driveline angles and steering geometry.
