Anyone running with a Rear Add-A-Leaf??

Anyone on here running a 2004-2008 F-150 With a 1"- 1.5" Add-A-Leaf?? I am wanting to see some pictures. I have a 2.5" Leveling kit in the front and the truck is a little low in the rear. Concerned if the 1-1.5" Add-A-Leaf is going to be too much or not. Any info is appreciated.

I put on the Fat Bobs AAL with an AS 2.5 in spacer in the front

This pic is right after I did it. I think it settled a bit since and looks great I will get some 33s for it when the current tires are worn. I did the AAL because I tow a boat and did not want the bulldog look that comes with installing blocks and towing

Colonel Blue: How do i look at someones albums on here? Where do I find them?
Barryrod:Your truck looks good. It will look better with tires. My whole reason for asking to see pics is because I work at a Ford dealership and we installed what should have been a 1-1.5" add a leaf on a truck with a 2.5" leveling kit and it raked worse than stock after it was done, it looked like crap!!! So we were wondering if maybe the packaging was wrong or if thats how it was supposed to be. The customer brought the leafs, so we didnt see original packaging. Anyhow, i pull a 26 ft camper, i use the torsion bars on the hitch, but the truck still sits really low when I am pulling it, so i want to AAL to help that out, plus handle the load better.

Also check my recent how to post on adding a zero rate. If you just have a little butt sag, a zero rate will solve the problem without changing your spring rates.

Get an air helper kit. Then u won't have to worry about sag or too severe of a rake when not loaded. Just ordered an air lift set from autoanything.com for 200. May be a tad more than an add a leaf but it will keep it level when towing or hauling. To check pics click on their name and then their albums. If u are on a smart phone you will have to go to the bottom of the page and click normal (non mobile) version. My kit will be in this week and hopefully install next Monday. I don't have level yet but am thinking about it so didn't want to add any more rake before level. Here is a pic with dirtbike and quad loaded so squatting a couple inches. I also have a travel trailer which is why I need the air springs.

Listed for 215 right now but they seem to always have a sale on. Worst case scenario call and use code winterc10 for 10% off. Just from their winter catalog.

Mine was shipped for 196.

My zero rate spring project cost me less than $50. But, the air bags do give you a lot of height options.

Are you looking to see the actual add-a-leaf or do you just want to see comparisons between before and after?

Comparisons or trucks with 2" leveling kit in the front and Add-A-Leaf in the rear.
