Icon 3 Leaf AAL Question

This add a leaf is advertised as producing a 1-1/2" lift. If they measure about 7/8", how am I supposed to get one and one half out of this set up ?

 

By installing it like the hundreds of guys that bought it before you.

 

Thanks. I'm not biting my tongue....I'm binding my fingers.

 

Maybe I'm missing something here but it looks like you're only measuring the 3 AALs and not the entire leaf pack after they are installed...it's 1 1/2" in combination with your stock leafs.

 

I installed the 3 leaf Headstrong AAL's (same as the Icons) and it definitely lifted as advertised.

 

I suppose it must have something to do with the arch of the spring or something. Different than a block. Should I remove the overload, ain't that the short one at the bottom of the stock springs ?

 

It's the thickest leaf in the pack.

You can remove it, but if you use the truck like a truck and carry heavy loads/tow/have a constant load like a shell - leave it.

Removing the overload is a 10% loss in capacity.

 

I kept mine in, depending on your front setup it might leave you with some rake in the rear.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

I'd prefer some rake. I have 6112 Bilstein set on 1.59" for the front.

 

Yeah I only have about 1.5" in the front as well, 5100's at 0" with OME 881s. Close to 3" in the rear with the 3 leaf AALs and overload in so I have a noticeable rake, but I don't really mind it. If the front starts to settle any (which it probably will) then I'll probably look into doing what I should've done from the get go and go with a taller OME coil.

 

I have some decisions to make.

 

Oh what about this... My shocks are for 0-2.5" lift. If I leave the overload in and get 3" will that screw my shock selection ?

You'll at most get 2 inches.

 

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

 

I love you man.

 

I'm flattered.

 

This be what I'm working on
