Just finished an Add a Leaf install last week.
Added 2 Leafs, a long one and 1 short.
Tuff Country 81350 Leaf Spring Kit ( long )
Rancho RS60612 Add A Leaf Kit  ( short )
Got a lot more lift than I wanted but it's done, the payload capacity should be close to 1 Ton? maybe, haven't tested it.
I was going to post some pics but for some reason This post won't let me.

It's because you have not yet reached the magic number of posts yet. 
Keep posting and you will get to it pretty quick.  (y)
 
Add-a-leafs do typically settle some, but the payload capacity from the factory was only 42 pounds shy of a ton..  1,958lbs.

But, there's more to it than just the leaf springs - the frame of an Avalanche 2500 and a 2500HD pickup are different, not to mention the obvious cab/bed differences.
