    I just did my OME lift with wheelers progressive AAL.. I put the trim packer in and for the rear i took out the first small leaf on the Aal pack and reinstalled the overload..
    But i have about 5/8"s inch lower on driver side from gas tank and what ot.. I was wondering if i could put the small lead back in on just the drivers side? Will it make a difference in ride or what?

    You shouldnt have removed any of the AAL.

    Well I didnt want too much rake.. Just the rear like maybe 1/2" higher..

    But the U-bolts provided with the AAL arent long enough to use with the overload in also.. So I took the first leaf out..
    But I still have the taco lean..
    Passenger side is 39.5 from ground to fender
    Driver side is 39...

    So I went and got longer u-bolts and new center pins.. But will it be ok to have the small leaf back in on just the drivers side, giving my that extra 1/4" or 3/8" of lift on that side...

    Well I ended up just putting the First Leaf of the 3:eaf AAL back in on the drivers side only.. And took it for a spin and it still rides great! Cant tell the difference..
    And now Im almost perfectly level side to side, (driver vs. Passenger)

    Now my truck is about 1/2" higher in the rear.. Which is perfect... still looks level bc you can barely tell that 1/2".. :)

    Front: 39" From Ground to Fender...
    Rear: 39.5"

    From Hub to Fender is:

    Front 23.25"- 23.5"
    Rear: 23.75"-24" (Hard to get exactly Center) :)

    And this is with alittle less than a 1/4 Tank of gas..
