Helpful Expert Reply:
In order to get more tension using the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS3611 you'll need to expand the spring using the method outline in the instruction link below. The different holes on the axle brackets won't accomplish this, they are simply there for different applications. Please note, if you have maxed out tension then you may need to upgrade to the heavy duty version part # RAS3611-HD.

There is a video on Youtube, where the guy bought a used set of the RAS system. He claims to have gotten a better ride, on his F-150, by moving it to the 3rd hole. I am watching the video, and thinking that this guy may not have graduated from high school. He moved the bracket forward, and lengthened the amount of threaded rod exposed. He still had to adjust the spring tension to the desired stretch. Some people should have a GoPro!!
