Hey guys I have another question. I have some extra ranger leaf springs sitting around and was wondering, if I could take the leaf springs off my truck take them apart, and take the leaf springs in my back yard apart and mix them together. I was wondering if I could make like a 4 or 5 pack leaf springs. Could this be done? Would they add lift to my truck?

Yes you can and yes it would. It is what I had before I lifted. It is the kind of thing that you need to play around with to find what you like.
