Good info. I like the idea of re-threading the rusted bolts. I want my mechanic to do this on my truck so this was perfect to allow me to understand what I'm paying for and better evaluate what I'm willing to spend.

So there is obviously someone else there if you pay attention and who asked for your opinion? I'm sure he can make his own choices as an adult

Was this leaf added to fix sag? Cause that’s what I was thinking about doing instead of buying all new leaf packs. None of this looks particularly fun however lol

I did the just to boost the height a couple inches for offroading. You could do it to fix sag although as it raises one end the other will probably drop a little bit as weight transfers.

How's it ride?

No real noticeable difference. Changing the shocks made a much bigger difference in ride.

Why cut the leaf? Why not just use it as the top leaf?

Try it on the other side

I assume you're talking about the vise grips. I went with the side that still had teeth.
