I'll snap some pics later on. I installed the new leaf between the bottom overload and the other springs. Since there were no directions or anything, this is the likely position for it.

Pay attention to the old springs where the overloads end. They are already showing signs of bending in a bad direction. You are already losing some of the lift from the AAL's.

I had add a leafs, but after seeing what they did to my springs when flexed or over loaded I looked into getting new springs. The add a leaf would not bend at all, while the stock springs formed around the ends of the add a leafs. I didn't trust them after seeing that, ended up ordering some Downey 2" lift springs and they have yet to sag. If they ever do though, I will install some shackles to correct it.

I think it looks great. You are already aware that it is a temporary fix, so no need to beat that horse.

Thanks for posting the pics.
