    I have non TSB leaf springs on my 2005. Don't qualify anymore for TSB. If I buy the 5100 Billy's and set them to 1.5" will I need to put an AAL on the back to make it sit about level? Don't really have a problem with my old springs just a little noise. Or do I need to replace the whole leaf pack? Don't do any towing just want it to look nice and level with a little lift.

    If you wanna do the 1.75 setting you will need a new leaf pack or an add a leaf. If you just want to be level do the .85 setting. there ar 4 setting 0/.85/1.75/2.5. There is no 1.5.

    Im just not sure wether to get an AAL or a whole new leaf pack? Ive heard guys say that if they AAL to non TSB springs they sit higher than with just the 4 leaf TSB.

    Depends on what aal you get. If you have the money get a new leaf pack.
