HELP! something is the matter with my Add a Leaf! It is old, it is NOT sagging and it DOES not ride rough!

did you seriously start a thread for this? You put the emphasis in the wrong place, you should have written "it does NOT ride rough". If every single AAL that was sold caused stiff ride and sagging, do you really think it would be offered? Kind of like the Rusty's trackbar, if they all broke and ruined peoples jeeps by flipping it on the road, would they still be sold? No. Some people have worse experiences with them than others, and some are luckier than others

im pretty sure he was trying to suggest that people who warn against AAL were wrong. hes probably fed up with people making fun of his cheap suspension. Probably went with a Rustys trackbar and will go with blocks when he decides on more height

really depends on how long you want them to be good for. short term yes, long term, not really. If you dont ruin your springs on blocks, they will retain lift longer then an AAL

an add a leaf will not change the spring performace mutch because it is the same thickness as a stock leaf you are just adding one more.
if you would like a stiffer ride you would have to use a new leaf pack with less leafs but much thicker
BUT;the thicker you go the leafs get wider

The Old Man Emu is the only "AAL" I know that does not fit that description since it is a full length leaf that is added to their own pack to enhance the pack. Note that it looks exactly the same as the other leafs, but it is quite long & the same thickness instead of short & fat. This is pretty much the same rule they follow in reverse at Clayton Offroad where they build a 6.5" pack, then remove 1 leaf to create a 4.5" pack. The leaf they remove could be considered an AAL for the 4.5" that creates 6.5". And that leaf is quite long, so it isn't a true AAL as we know it.

I just want to say that I love this thread. Finally debunking the AAL ignorance. Next: Stop letting people do the Wally World light mod.
Also Rubicon Express provided a full length add a leaf option while they were in business. I have it on my Jeep and it has worked for 3+ years.
I love seeing people that spent the money on full packs and 6 months down the road are already having problems with them. Makes me smile inside.
Somethings work great for some, and ****ty for others. Just the way the rock rumbles.
