The add a leaf only works for so long, and then you're back where u started in a few months (this is what I hear because I avoid them for these reasons, but I can't verify)

I'm not sure how that would affect your leafs if they are already toast, but mist people here avoid them like the plague

thedale on here is running the original leafs with 250K on them and a 2" aal and a shackle and its still sits at about 3.5-4" they still work. my pickups leafs were pretty shot from being loaded down and the AAL still gave the full 2" lift even with a set of (stock) 2.5" blocks sitting under them

I have a 97 jeep country. 4.0 straight six. Has a good knock in the engine. 20-50 oil quiets it down 75% oil pressure is between 35-40 and while driving over 1500 rpm you cant hear it at all. are the valves adjustable, even a little. forgive me if I posted this on the wrong site.

any 2.5 inch wide leafs of trucks will work to make a bastard pack. most use s10 leafs. news leafs arent too cheap. look at quadratec
