Leveling Kit

It's definitely doable! I did mine myself in 4 hours or so. That's a great idea to ask for help from local members. I know there are plenty near you!

 

Am I looking at the right things here? Recommend progressive for smoother ride? don’t do any towing right now.

 

Those are the ones! Just get wheelers house brand AAL. I've used their single AALs before and have been happy with them

 

I really hope I’m not annoying you.

Can you try and explain the difference between the options on the page? There’s multi-leaf AAL progressive and then the AAL Set. Multi-leaf progressive is double the cost...why is that?

 

You're not annoying me one bit. I'm at work and bored! The multi-leaf AAL progressive is the progressive AAL we've been talking about. This is the one that gives height based on the actual thickness of the leafs, and rides a bit smoother.

The AAL set is the single AAL that gives the springs more arch, and rides a little rougher. There's two in the picture because there's one for each side.

 

Ah you’re a lifesaver. Okay perfect! Makes more sense now. Here’s what I’ve compiled from this information...


Did I miss anything??

 

Nope, that looks about right! One thing I will add is that if you don’t lift the rear, don’t get 5100s in the rear. They’re the same shock, but the 5100s are longer for lifted applications.

Awesome. So for someone who won’t do much in the way of off-roading, what purpose would I need the AAL/rear 5100s for? Adding a full lift instead of just a level?

 

Yep! That’s pretty much it. The sole purpose would be to raise the rear to match the front. Even when perfectly level, the body lines on this truck make it look odd. They were designed for an inch or two of rake.

 

Awesome. I got it..You’ve been a huge help...thank you!

 

You're welcome! Don't hesitate to contact me with any other questions.

 

What AAL did you use?

 

Toytec.

So did that make your rear higher than the front?

 

Yes but that's what I wanted.

 

You still happy with this setup??? I’m running the same tire size on my 3rd gen. And like the look of yours. I hate to spend $2500 on a lift!!!

 

extremely happy, its my daily driver now.

 

I just recently purchased these but haven't installed em yet I was wondering how's the ride quality in the rear been so far?

 

It's a little firmer than stock but no big deal in my opinion.

 

I’m am gonna install these with my pro shocks so maybe it’ll dampen the ride a bit I hope
