I was wondering if i can put an add a leaf in my existing lift leaf pack to get either some more lift in them or at least put a little more arch in them

I have 4.5in. lift leaf packs that are starting to sag a little and was thinking about putting in a 2 in. add a leaf just wondered if anybody has done this or if it will work

thanks guys

If you dont already have some why dont you get a 2" shackle. From my experience when people add AALs to lift springs it can make them pretty stiff.
