RE: Roadmaster Suspension and Fabtech

I have the Fabtech 3" lift with the add-a-leaf on my 2x4 truck. I also
have the Roadmaster active suspension. The add-a-leaf does raise the
rear, but it doesn't seem to do much for you when you add weight to the
bed except to start the sagging from a higher point. The Roadmaster
actually keeps the rear up when I add the same weight. I did need longer
U-bolts than come stock with the truck.

Ok, next question then, how would the Roadmaster kit compare to say
Fabtech's helper leafs (leaves?)? I haven't seen them, but I've heard
of
people using them, actually getting some lift out of them too, which can
be
leveled nicely with a torsion bar crank. Just working out some options
in
my head for the new 4x4 :) Thanks.
