add more springs for th epack on the front drivers side, they are very prone to sagging

But by adding leafs to the pack wont this stiffen up the
pack and get less flex from them?

If its sagged, chances are the sagged one is softer and flexing more anyway, cut a load bearer down to 100-150mm and round the ends and stick it in as a lift block, but this way its bolted into the pack with the pin. a load leaf should gain you half inch, or add 2 if you need more and dont want to add another whole leaf. Are you running the torque rod?, if so is it adj, if not they pull down on the suspension.

4leafs in the front pack is not alot, with bullbars engine etc it weighs the front down and it 4 leaves probly cant cope.. my pack is 5 and is pushing the limits but i have a winch etc hanging out the front of the truck.
