thats what Iam gonna do except I think my packs will be ok with just the add a leafs, I dunno I'll find out soon lol. My leaf pack eye bolts were rusty so I couldnt get them off today, got the new monroe shocks in, gonna move the jeep to the back so I can use the penumatic tools tommorow.

I feel like I am constantly writting "POPO said", but POPO says that if your rear leafs are as bad as ours, you are going to put alot of stress on the Add a leaf and it will fail.

I dont really know how bad ,bad is, but the back does sag some,but the leafs are actually flattened out in the front rather than turned down like I first thought.

I guess for us Popo just wanted to be safe rather than sorry. Im assuming having a lift fai while driving could be detrimental.

yea it poored the other night I checked mine since "gasket marker" filling holes and voids and patching a bad spot in the rear hatch gasket and it SEEMS dry everywhere so we'll see, it's still sitting higher in the back than the front so when it's leveled out it may leak again or it may not.

Well Popo found a company called "WATER DOCTOR" that most of the local dealerships use to find and repair leaks in vehicles. If it persists, he will set up an appointment.

i know where theres a couple spots that jeep/chrysler went a little sparingly with metal and decided to go back and try and put rubber around the places to seal them, I think I may "modifiy" some of these,weld them up and make my own seals.If I do it I know its done and I wont ever have to worry about it again, or atleast until the damn thing catchs fire like my F250
