How to install Add-A-Leafs
#61
If you just got a helper spring you wouldn't need to remove the block to sit level.
All the helper spring does is keep your truck from sagging to much under a heavy load. But with the way it is designed your truck doesn't start to place any load on the helper spring until it has sagged so much.

I know what kind you are talking about but I am talking about the kind that goes in the middle of the leaf pack and adds a little lift too. I like those more because they stiffen up the ride a little and do not allow it to sag as much in the first place, instead of starting to work when it is already sagging.
It won't be perfect, but it will be close enough that you wouldn't be able to eyeball the difference really.

Hey guys,
I have a '13 FX4 with what I understand to be 2.25 and 2.5 lift kit. I got the kit put in before I left the lot at Ford. I carry heavy *** pumps and hoses all summer long in the back and have really noticed the sag. I want to do the AAL, I'm looking at Supersprings HD SSA9 model or the SSA28 model (not HD).
Will these add lift to my back end additional to the current lift? Which model do you recommend I go with?
I do a ton of highway to get to Lease Roads and they are generally a mess of bumps, holes and ruts, really puts the suspension through a gauntlet.

An AAL is generally stuck somewhere in the middle of your leaf pack and will achieve a certain amount of lift.

That makes sense, I'm pretty sure thats what the Supersprings do, won't engage until there is a load. Looking for advice on what level of assist I would want, the Heavy Duty or the not as Heavy Duty.

If sub 1k lbs I say the non heavy duty.
And if your vehicle payload allows for >1K lbs get the HD

How's she goin' eh?
Bumping an old thread here. Hoping someone can add similar pics to the OP’s original broken links.
I have the parts for this, I just need to find time. I have a question and am sure I’ll have more down the road. I have to lift the rear of the truck by the frame to extend the suspension correct? Do I have to lift both sides or can one wheel be on the ground while I work on the other side?
