Default add a leaf procedure?

hi guys - this weekend im going to replace the dead rear leafs on my 98 xj with heavy duty 5 tier leafs, and install a 2" add a leaf pack . Im ok on the leaf removal / refit, but im getting all sorts of conflicting opinions from friends and from google as to how you actually fit the extra leaf that comes in the AAL pack. Ive tried the search box here, but im going round in circles!. If anyone can advise, or even just give me a link with some good info it would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks for reading guys.

Will do!. As usual life is getting in the way, and ive had to put it off till next weekend (hopefully) - but as soon as its done i'll put up some pics. Im hoping the 5 tier heavy duty leafs plus the AAL pack will get me about 3" above factory at the rear, and the 3" spacers with grand v8 springs should get me the same up front?.. fingers crossed.
Am I right in assuming that with a maximum 3" lift all round, I wont need to do any other work, like a t-case drop, etc?.. hope so!.
