Can someone comment or shed light on this whole "won't add lift" thing? The guy told me basically that there's nothing to build on or stack the springs again, like the axle.

I'm not sure I buy this, why do companies like Tuff Country make rear add a leaf kits that supposedly add 2" if they aren't going to actually add lift...

Maybe they're wrong and just don't know our H3's or maybe its a sign I should take my business elsewhere I just don't know.....

If an add a leaf will work I can just buy one and me and my friend can slap it on.
