I was lucky to score an add-a-leaf kit already installed on some lightly used stock leaf packs. With the help of a good friend, we swapped the leaf packs and got rid of the slight negative rake my truck had.

It was nice to use a lift to work on the truck.

Sitting much nicer now!

What are your other suspension mods and how much weight in the rear?

I've got the Eibach ProTruck kit all around; shocks and struts, and the Eibach springs set to their highest height of 3.75". In the truck bed, weight wise, I have no clue! I've got a Smittybilt Overland Tent, Xtrusion Overland bed rack, hard rolling bed cover, wood table, traction boards, RotoPax (4.5 gal), HiLift jack, shovel, axe, box of recovery gear (HEAVY!!!), and a tire inflator. It's a bit weighty back there!

Great looking truck! Where in GA do you camp?
Ughh!!! I haven't overnighted yet! We were supposed to hit Nemo Tunnel in TN this weekend for an overnight but it got adjusted to a one day trip out to Talladega National Forrest tomorrow.

Unacceptable Glocker! Haha. I moved back to GA with my wife a year ago and we've been trying to get into spending more time in N. Ga. Talladega sounds like a great day trip; y'all enjoy it out there, the weather is perfect this weekend.

Currently in Decatur so pretty good highway access to the N. Ga spots. I need to ditch my stock tires before I start doing much off-road.thar Nemo Tunnel spot looks killer.
Are you on Facebook? There is a GA Ranger5G group on there. If you aren't on that group let, PM me your Facebook name and I'll send you an invite or however that works. That way you can be in the know, for when drives are happening.

So a little review of the add-a-leaf:
They are stiff! I think I'm going to move some weight from the rear of the bed to the nose of the bed as on some rougher obstacles, I could hear my box of recovery gear hitting hard. They weren't uncomfortable off-road, but definitely stiffer! Articulation wasn't bad.
