    Hey guys! I am wondering about my leafs. I have a toytec AAL and 1" block. But over time it seems like my springs have been settling. Almost a 1/2" I believe. Is this normal for the AAL to flatten out over time? or are my springs going bad and sagging? thanks for any help! I will try and get some pics up if it helps.:)

    All springs sag over time.

    Yeah. 1/2" sounds normal for an AAL settling. Your fine. :)
