    It might able ride like shit because of the Fabtech coil up front. If it's anything like Procomp, they have stiff coils. The spacer, if it was used with a stock coil, shouldn't ride any different than stock. All it's doing is spacing down the entire shock and isn't preloading the coil or anything. :confused:

    Sorry, couldn't just type x2 :D

    Yup it's a stock pack with an AAL. How is that as a set up for the rear?

    Not great. I imagine it is stiff with the AAL, but if you take the AAL out, you'll likely have a squishy unstable mess. How many miles on the truck?

    You should plan on a new complete leafpack and appropiate shocks for wahtever height, but what type of leafs suit pre-running desert stuff I don't know. NelsonMatt (and others) will be able to advise you better.

    Iv got almost 140k miles on the truck. And yeah if like to replace the entire leaf pack in the back. I like that it has a little suspension lift but I'm not liking the way it's done. I think king coilovers gives 2.5" of lift without a spacer. And what are some good companies to look at leaf packs from? And how much does leaf packs usually run? I'll have to look some stuff up when I get to my computer. Iv been replying all day through my iPhone..I love this taptalk forum app!

    Well I'm all for getting the best but right now I'm a student so getting the best for a decent price is what I'm focused on. Even if I get king coils I'll probably find a nice used set.
    And by the way I do have a prerunner so I guess that makes a difference in leafpacks?

    And is that 600$ a piece or a set for the deavers?
