Review on Tuff Country Rear Add-a-Leaf Kit (Part No. 81250) by Zach Sornsin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Have two jacks so you can raise and lower both the axle and the frame.

Installed on my 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500 (k1500). I had the front torsion keys raised slightly, so the rear end sags a lot. With a little rake this works perfectly when I'm pulling trailers. Raised the tail about 2.25 inches and strengthened the tail. The installation with floor jacks and bottle jacks definitely took longer than expected. Remember that you must have a choke to raise and lower the axle and frame at the same time. I didn't have an elevator so I improvised with blocks and it was very dangerous. I don't recommend doing it that way.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Crumpled
