i was wondering if you got some chevy leaf springs or f-150 leafs if you wanted 6 inchs of lift out of them would it be ok to add a leaf or 2 or how many would i have to add and does this mess up your flex

The more springs you add the stiffer your pack will be.
You would be better off making your hanger lower and shackle longer.
Or just buy some Marlin Springs and be done.

I'm not one to say.
I'm running Chevy's.
The only major difference I know of is the f150's are shorter.
