Add a leaf or not on a SOA?

[Speed Freak]

I am going SOA next week, should I go ahead and stick in a 2" add-a-leaf kit while I'm at it? I found a kit of 4 for 100.00.
Thanks

what's it going on?? and what kind of leaves are you using??

It depends on if you need that much lift. That would end up being around 7" of lift.

as a general rule add a leafs ride rough. I would do it w/o them and then if I needed more clearance I'd cut/hammer/even BL before I ran addaleafs.

then again I'm a samurai guy and we need all the help we can get

it depends on how saggy your stock packs are. if it is really droopy you may need that extra boost from the AAL's.

soa lift is going to give you a good 5.5inches, if you want it higher i would go with soa and a higher leaf spring.

Make sure you plan on adding a traction bar with the SOA if you are using stock springs.
