skyjacker add-a-leaf springs-1 1/2"

Wanted to lift back of 06 fx4 scab. Installed AS2" levelers and actually would like the rear higher now. Really like the height of the front and found these. Looks like i may be able to install these myself, looks much easier than the front AS level kits. Anyone do these? What extra tools needed? thanks...

Those are the same ones that came with my skyjacker 3" kit. They are easy to put in. I even did mine with hand tools. The didn't stiffen up the rear too much either. They raised up the back a full 2 inches.

I have the Autospring but want to add the 1.5 Skyjacker add a leaf. Can someone post some pics? My truck sits pretty level now. Once I add the topper Ill need a little more in the rear.

How did the Skyjacker 3" lift change the ride of your truck?

Did you ever get pics of the leveling kit and the 1.5 add a leaf? I have the leveling kit up front but the rear is exactly the same height now and I want a little more in the rear. Thanks

Her water broke and you are posting
That's classic!

Oh how are your tires wearing on the stock rims? How many miles have you put on them?

So how do the 35"s work on your truck? I just installed the 2.5 autospring lift and bought a set of 17" expedition wheels, but i cant decide what tire to put on it. Do the 35"s rub?

I have about 6000 on them and they are wearing great, still look like the day I got them. the drivers tire does rub the uper control arm when full lock to the right but I try not to do it. yeah while the wife was getting cleaned up I was posting and checkin the forums. but made it there on time to give birth to a 7lb 11oz baby girl so it was all worth it

Did the add a leaf change the ride? How hard was it to install? When you get a chance, could you measure the height to the fender?
