Add-A-Leaf on aftermarket springs???

I have pro comps 4in springs on my runner with 2in shackles, but the rear still sags a bit. Could I just do an add-a-leaf? Any certain kind I need specially for these springs? Or just alcans or something??? Cause I didn't know if the add-a-leafs out there are just to add to stock springs...

you can add an 'ad-a-lead' to any spring pack... I think the longer ad-a-leafs give you a somewhat smoother ride...

Mine is from Superlift... it was called Super Soft AAL, or something like that... it rides pretty nice.

Ive got a cheepy add-a-leaf in my old stock pack. it helped for a year or so, then all it did was just added wicked axle wrap problems.

you would be much better off with a full leaf pack.

Take yer top off!!! All the 4 runners were built to the same specs as the pickups, but the back of the runner is heavier so it sags out real quick!! Or if your not into public nudity the AAL will be the easiest cheapest fix and if you only got 1" or maybe 2" the ride wont be too awful!
