okay, thanks smeezy, I'm a dummy, not sure why I never found those before. Now, can anyone tell me why the skyjacker add a leafs for the '04/05 f150's that cost $119 from summit add 1.5" of lift to the rear, and the add a leafs that come with the skyjacker 3" kit say that they add 2.5" of lift to the rear and 3" to the front? Obviously the coilovers up front add the 3" there, but how does the add a leaf in the kit add 2.5" in the rear while the add a leaf for $119 only adds 1.5". Is the arch different on them or something? I was under the impression that there was only 1 add a leaf on the market right now by skyjacker for the new f150's, which would be the one sold in their 3" lift kit, and I figured it would be the same one that is sold separately. ??

okay, I called 4wheelparts today and the guy quoted me $84 for a pro comp add a leaf, I think 1.5". He quoted me 2 different skyjacker ones and got me confused. First he said it was $175 for the skyjacker add a leaf, then he told me later on $120 for the add a leaf kit. I had asked him about the skyjacker softride add a leafs and the heavy duty ones, as to which ones he was quoting me and he never made it clear. Supposedly the softride ones come with the skyjacker 3" lift kit, not sure. Does anyone have any info on this? My impression is that the heavy duty add a leaf kit for $120 from summit will be stiffer and affect the ride more, and the softride ones seem to be able to get the job done and give a better ride quality.
