    I just swapped the 2" Toytec AAL with the 3 leaf progressive pack that Wheelers hooked me up with and could not be happier. Night and day difference. I will urge anyone to go this route versus a standard AAL. I did try it both ways with and without the overfload and there is no difference in ride quality for the guys wanting that little extra lift or carrying capacity. I am also running 5100s in the rear as well.

    Yeah I took it out at first then put it back in to see if there were any differences and did not notice any.
