On my way to work this morning i started hearing a loud metal on metal rattling. got under the truck and noticed the driverside center leaf was broken and had come out of place. im not ready to do a lift yet still putting all the parts together to get a SAS in first. could i buy a set of add-a-leaf's and just replace the center leaf on both sides? i know they will add some lift and thats fine really but i dont want to replace the whole spring because of cost and then its likely to lean to the passenger side unless i do that one too.

to me it seems like it should work out fine and its also be cheaper and less foolish than replacing one side or both sides to keep it looking straight.

comments?

I'd suggest just grabbing a set of junkyard leafs to keep you going for a few more months or however long.
