best "economical" rear lift recommendations please

I only brought it up because people were starting to mention "carrying more".

 

I also have the Wheeler's 2" AAL. I like it. The ride is definitely more firm, but not harsh.

 

The 3 leaf progressive is firmer than stock, and I agree that a firmer suspension is better as stock was way to soft. However comparing the single leaf vs the progressive, the progressive is supposed to ride smoother by the design inherent in being a progressive spring. The greater the compression, the greater the resistance as more of the springs come into play, vs a linear spring will employ max resistance at all levels of compression. Meaning the progressive leaf will absorb small impacts much better than the single leaf so you don't feel like an unloaded dump truck when going over a speed bump.

 

All great info. Curious, those of you who added these kits(progressive 3-leaf without factory overload, and single AAL with factory overload), how much do u think they would each raise my truck('14 with 3/1)?? Trying not to go too high, and end up with a large rake(I'm currently running front 5100's set at .85).

 

Most AAL's are rated for a certain amount of lift (1.5", 2", etc.), and will normally say in the product description. The caveat of course, is if you have any extra weight, such as a cap, or anything in the back.

BTW why are you adding an AAL with 5100's @ .85? you should still have ~1" of rake with the factory leafs.

 

Thanks for the info. Idk, seems like it has almost no rake now, especially with a full tank. If I put anything in it at all, it seems to look "saggy", but I also would prefer a firmer ride...

 

I have my front set @ 1.75" with a 2" AAL. A firm (but not harsh) ride, with a (2") rake. Maybe move the fronts up a notch, and get an AAL.

 

Yeah. I guess I'll start with the rear and see how it looks. The 3-pack progressive(without the factory overload) seems like a good choice...
