What problem did you have with the add-a-leaves? You know you need to unstack the rear spring and fit them into the pack, then put in a new centerbolt, right?

well i unpacked the rear pack but its got the overload, maybe i should remove that and use the add a leaf. i cant see how i could fit that sprint in there they are all so flat and that one is so stiff. ill post some pics later to illustrate my point.

You normally have to squeeze the stack back together with a clamp or vise. I've even used large channellocks just to get it down to where my c-clamp would fit over the stack. I'd probably ditch the overload anyway, eespecially if it's got curved overloads instead of the flat ones.
