    So in my research, I have found that with adding AALs to achieve a 3in lift, that you lose hauling capabilities? Is this so?
    If so, what can I do to maintain my load capacity?

    I thought it added to your hauling capabilities :confused: Makes sense that adding leafs and increasing the suspension means you can haul more. I am getting the AAL through the TSB and that will enable me to haul more weight safely.

    I'm all ears if I am incorrect in my thought process.

    Well, the one from AllPro is NOT for towing. Simply for the ride quality and flex. Is that the one you're talking about? And adding a leaf shouldn't decrease your load capacity but you will have a bumpier ride.

    No springs are going to increase your GVW. That number is set according to the factory. It may allow the suspension to not sag as much when loaded, but the GVW, and tow capacity also hing on Frame strength, brakes, drivetrain.
    Also, whith the propper shock, an AAL wont be more "bumpy".
