    Yes another thread about AAL.

    I have read a bunch of stuff here about AAL. So much info and all different.

    My truck will be stock weight at this time and I don't haul any significant amount of gear.

    I'm looking to raise the rear end about 1.5- 2 inches. I'm thinking a progressive AAL and remove the factory overload. Recommendations?

    I might add a camper shell or some sort of rack later.... so I'm assuming with an AAL plus the factory overload I could still acheive this amount of lift in the future (depending on weight of course).

    I keep hearing about @HeadStrong Off-Road and @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc so I might as well seek their advice, too. :thumbsup:

    I bought the 3-piece AAL from Wheelers and it's been good so far. Granted I only have 1000 miles on it. Stock weight all around.

    Edit: No overload in it currently.

    I have the Wheelers 3 leaf progressive and it’s nice. I didn’t really notice a ride quality difference from stock and with my Alucab shell, Autohome tent and camping shit it still sits slightly higher than level in the back.

    We definitely have some @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc fans in here. Is the 3 leaf progressive AAL kit made by Icon like what's pictured on the site?

    Looks like Wheelers requires a signature for packages delivered?

    Packages used to require signatures with our old system. Now it is up to the decision of the parcel driver if its a bad neighborhood or not. Correct on the image for the IVD packs.

    I’ve had both wheelers & HeadStrong’s AAL - can’t go wrong with either. I do recommend leaving the overload in if you’re adding the camper shell - subjective opinion of course.
