H3 Add a leaf

[frumaker]

I put on a tuff country 2 inch add a leaf today. I was able to do this by myself, in my garage in about 2 hours. It did give me a 2 inch lift. I haven't been able to test if there is added strength.

He picked them up from a shop near here. I just might need to do this:shifty:, who needs a 1" lift and you can get 2" from this!!! We still need to check where the front is right now but I can't believe what a 2" lift in the rear can do.

I would like to see the pics myself.. If a person has leveled there rig to get rid of that slouched look, would not raising the rear 2 inches create the same effect? And if this same person has theres at the 23 1/4 mark, they would not be wise to raise the front anymore with the Torsion bars correct?? If so, would they not put to much stress on vital components??

The leafs are made by tuff country. The ride is better IMO. Pics when I can. I needed the extra height from the added weight of the bigger, heavier spare and the roof rack. The rear is only slightly higher now.

But could you fit 37's up front from just lifting the back end? I think it would be tight, I would really like to find 36" tires though, a little lighter, but still taller and split the difference with 315's

I have 2 TC add a leaves on each side. I had to put 2 sets in to bring my rear up when I lifted mine. It rides wicked hard with 2 sets.

Sent using Tapacrack

I get a lot I squeaking in my rear end after the add a leaf install. Anyone have a clue what it may be from? Everything gloomy normal and the ride is great

Two common areas for the squeaking: bushings at the ends and friction between leaves. Make sure you have pads between the leaves and shoot up the end bushings with some lube. Odds are on the bushings

i do have pads between the leafs. are you talking about the bushings for the leafs? thank you for the help

 

[alrock]

Yeah, the bushings on each end. My driver one squeaked really bad and needed lubing on and off for about a year before it finally settled in and became quiet again.

Just strange to me that it never squeaked until I added the add a leaf
