Expert Reply:

The extra leaf springs you are referring to are called overload leaf springs. The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS3611-HD will not work with overload leaf springs but the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS3611-CHD will as it is designed specifically for this purpose.

I have attached a review video for you.

I would be happy to explain the differences. The RoadActive Suspension Kit #RAS3611 has the standard capacity of 2,000 lbs. The #RAS3611-HD and #RAS3611-CHD have a 3,000 lb capacity since they are the heavy duty versions. The #RAS3611-HD is designed…
