looking for a recommendation for an add a leaf for my 2004 lariat 4x4. I have a 2.5" hellbent level coming for the front. The plan is to run a 295/70 r18 on the stock rims. I know they will fit without an add a leaf but I do pull a 24ft flat bead when scrapping or moving vehicles so I don't want a saggy rear when doing that.

Thanks,
David

 

Pro Comp AAL from Summit Racing. It is the long type which is the better one compared to the short ones.

 

Have you checked into the firestone air bags? I just leveled mine and it sits so dang straight now I'm afraid to pull my 26' TT. Was thinking bags or AAL but read that the leafs really stiffen the ride. I still need to do some digging on this.

 

www.timbren.com - swap out your bump stop with this an you're set to go. Cheaper than leafs or airbags, won't stiffen up your ride, PHENOMENAL stability both under load and unloaded, as it kills the 'roll' when cornering. Keeps you level, and installs in minutes. No expertise or fancy tools needed. They're flying off the shelf rather quickly!

 

Do you have these on your truck? I've heard numerous times that they bump when not under load. It would be nice to hear it directly from someone that has them if they do or not.

I opted for the air bags to eliminate just what the OP was talking about. I've put 2000lbs in the back of my truck and it still sits level and you can adjust them for the load.

 

On the timbren site... I wonder why the video illustration shows the "unloaded" clip with a heavy spring pack truck and a lighter sprung truck for the "loaded" clip.

If you can afford the air bags, they are probably the best option.
