1. just askin how many leaf can i use?
I guess you could use as many as you want, but here are a few things to keep in mind. Dakota and S-10 springs are stiffer than XJ springs. The more you use and still maintain all of your XJ leaves, the less flex you will be able to get and the rougher the ride. I used Dakota main and secondary, under my XJ primary with the bottom 2 XJ leaves under the Dakota ones. I got about 4.5" and the ride and flex was still acceptable

2. wat is the best leafs to use, s10 or the dakota?
I don't think it really makes a difference. They are both spring under trucks and weigh about the same. Spring rate is really close, so use whichever one you can get easier/cheaper. I got a pair of Dakota spring packs for free, so I went with those.
3. and can i put a add aleaf in the pack?
I don't see why not, but then you are really going to end up with a lot of lift. I got 4.5" in my pack, so if I had added a 3" AAL, I would have had over 7" of lift. That is way too much for my taste. I don't mud though, I do more crawling, so I like a lower COG.

wats the most u can get out of a basterd pack????
Already answered up above. As much as you are willing to sacrifice ride quality and flex for.
