Short adda leafs are cheaper... they go under the leaf pack. They're also a bit stiffer than the long add a leafs.

I'd recommend long add a leafs. They're a bit more work to install, because they go between the top two leafs in the pack, but they distribute the load over a larger area on the spring pack, and aren't as rough on the ride.

yup jigg's right. I just installed the long add-a-leafs. The shorts are known to give a real bumpy ride. The longs were actually cheaper. only by about 10 bucks though. They gave me just the amount of lift I was looking for. Go for it.
