Has anyone ever put an add-a-leaf in our trucks? I was thinking about just taking a couple leaves out of another pack, trimming them..and putting them in my pack..how much lift do you think I could get from adding another long leaf, and the support leaf (the same leaves you would leave in if you were lowering your truck)?

Has anyone put shackles on our trucks? Does anyone make them? how would they do when combined with an add a leaf?

I want to lift the back a little, but I don't want a flip because itll just look ridiculous, I know Ill have a hard time matching the rear lift with the front.

show me a money

When I First bought my tan mazda the guy put an add a leaf in and let me tell you it was over an inch taller than any other bone stock mazda I parked next to.

Here,this guy posted this for me on Mazdatruckin:

You can cut the leaves if you want. I do it with a metal cutting blade in a circular saw. I took out the overload and added a 24" leaf to the rear. It raised it about 1/2". If you cut the second one at 18 inches, you will have an increased spring rate probaly gain an 3/4" to and inch and if you keep the overload maybe more. My suggestion would be to get an overload that has a curve in it and turn it upside down. That way you have some room for your springs to move. Or get an overload at the JY that has a taper in the leaf (gets thinner towards the ends) out of an American Suv or pickup. That way it will be sort of progressive in compression."

Hope that helps.
