no, i am not posting to have someone agree with me.
what i am saying is that a leaf pack is made up of lengths of metal.
you add or take away a number of leaves to get the support you want or need.
if you look at the front pack of a 40 series and the rear pack, at least on the truck i am working on now, the front has an extra leaf.
the front and the rears are all the same thickness, same length (except main). the springs are from a well known vendor. the extra leaf up front is to allow for the engine weight.
if you look at a mine 75 and a street 75 and compare the leaves you will find the mine 75 has double the springs, exact same length exact same thickness. the mine truck vendors "add 7 leaves" to allow for the heavier box and cage.
so yes, you "add a leaf". Jetgoof doesn't see to understand how leaf suspension works.
the other option is to build a set using thicker leaves but then you end up with a rougher ride (picture the old 3 leaf Rancho FJ40 kits).

so we have to decide whether to agree with jetboy or crushers?
