Are you looking at buying the add a leaf kit? Or using other leavs? If so the kit is very easy to fit.

Adding a leaf to a spring is easy. It's the rest of the job that's not so easy. You've got to undo the U-bolts and stuff to get at the spring.

Remove the spring completely from the Zuk.

There is one bolt right in the middle of the pack that holds it all together. Clamp the spring in a vice or with screw clamps and undo the bolt. Then gently undo the vice or clamps to release the tension.
