lift springs+add a leaf

I just got a '73 K10 that has a 4'' lift that is almost brand new. Anyone know weather or not it would be ok to add a 2.5'' add a leaf to the lift spring pack? looking to get it a little taller to fit some tires I have but don't want to have to buy new springs if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: lift springs+add a leaf

If your U-bolts are long enough then it shouldn't hurt. It will make them more stiff.. I gained 1.5" with a short Rancho add-a-leaf on my 68.. But every spring pack is different...
