    I want to know from those who installed AAL if the AAL they bought came with anti friction pad, and where they purchased it.
    if yours came with anti friction pad, did you use it when you installed the leaf?

    is the anti-friction pad really needed? I don't think the stock leaf use anti friction pad, or do they?

    thanks.

    I see in wheeler's off road their 2" aal shows anti friction pad but the 1.5" does not, but has the hole for installing the anti friction pad.

    ok, I see wheelers says 1.5" comes with anti friction pads.

    now with the progressive, it seems only the top leaf comes with anti friction pad? really can't see from the picture if the 2nd and 3rd leaf in progressive has pad installed.

    The Deaver progressives I got from Toytec had them on each leaf. I put a little bearing grease on there as well.
