AC Offroad Add a Leaf

AC Offroad Add-a-Leaf is a suspension component designed to enhance the load-carrying capacity and ride height of a vehicle’s rear suspension. Here’s a bit more detail about what it does and why it might be used:

What is an Add-a-Leaf?

An Add-a-Leaf is an additional leaf spring that is inserted into the existing leaf spring pack of a vehicle’s rear suspension. This addition helps to:

1. Increase Ride Height: Adding a leaf spring can lift the rear end of the vehicle, which can be beneficial for leveling out the stance of the vehicle, especially if it is sagging due to load or age.

2. Improve Load Capacity: By increasing the stiffness of the rear suspension, an Add-a-Leaf can help the vehicle handle heavier loads more effectively, making it a popular choice for those who frequently carry heavy cargo or tow trailers.

3. Enhance Suspension Performance: It can provide a firmer ride and better control, especially when driving off-road or over rough terrain.

Benefits of AC Offroad Add-a-Leaf

1. Durability and Strength: AC Offroad is known for its high-quality off-road parts. Their Add-a-Leafs are designed to be robust and durable, capable of handling off-road conditions and heavy use.

2. Affordable Lift Solution: Compared to other suspension lift options like full leaf spring replacements or coil spring upgrades, an Add-a-Leaf is generally a more cost-effective way to achieve a modest lift and improve load capacity.

3. Easy Installation: Installing an Add-a-Leaf is usually straightforward and involves adding it to the existing leaf spring pack, which can be done with basic tools and does not require extensive modifications.

4. Adjustable Lift: Some Add-a-Leaf kits come with varying thicknesses or additional components to allow for customizable lift heights and performance characteristics.

Considerations

1. Ride Quality: While an Add-a-Leaf can improve load capacity and height, it may also make the ride firmer. This is something to consider if ride comfort is a priority.

2. Compatibility: Ensure that the Add-a-Leaf is compatible with your specific vehicle model and the existing suspension setup. Some vehicles might have specific requirements or limitations.

3. Alignment and Handling: After installing an Add-a-Leaf, it’s a good idea to have your vehicle’s alignment checked and adjusted if necessary, as changes in ride height can affect vehicle handling and alignment.

Overall, AC Offroad Add-a-Leaf is a practical upgrade for those looking to enhance their vehicle’s load capacity and ride height while keeping costs reasonable
