Just another quick update. I got the leafs all finished. Just as a recap I added one leaf between my bottom and helper. It seems to have raised the truck about 3/4" but has also raised the spring rate so it doesn't sink down so far with fuel in it! Over all with the new front springs and the new rear leafs finished it drive and rides awesome. I drove in to work today and didn't bottom out or hit my control arms even once. Also my tires don't hit when I turn anymore either. So that's a double bonus.
