i have add a leafs and they dont give a hardsher ride IMO they just give you more sag. and the kit you were looking at has add a leafs i think what your thinking is getting a kit with rear springs over add a leafs. and i mean the harshness of the ride is all upon the person riding it.

as for rear leaf packs... I read alot of guys on here that bought the add a leafs wishing they bought a kit with full packs. Rough Country's kit with leaf packs is 609.95 on their site. Can't say for myself how well it works until I get it ordered in september, but from what I've read, it's pretty good.

don't get crazy expensive if your not gonna wheel it at all. you can do a budget boost for much cheaper than that kit. do you just want slightly bigger tires?

X2 just get BB kit like the Tera flex 1.5 kit its a shackle and coil spacer and you can fit 31s. Looks good easy in stall. Plus the spacers are urethane and the shackle bushing are urethane with grease serts
