I used the add a leaf and it worked fine... Installed it 2 1/2 years ago and everything is great.... pain in the *** if your not using a lift, but doable. I guess it all depends on your vehicle use. My 94 Cherokee is only rear wheel drive, and I dont go offroading... so I cannot say that the add a leaf is the right thing if you go offroading... but I consistently have a tool box (~300 LBS OF TOOLS) in the tailgate area, and it has not worn out the leaf.

Here is the one I used... http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...n+%26+Steering

FWIW I added the top 2 leaves from a stock XJ pack and gained 3" from that alone, and it rode very well with new shocks. Also my load capacity was much better than before, obviously.
