    Curious to know how much is “normal” for AAL to settle. Installed these Deavers about 3 weeks ago. They had some serious curvature at first but have lost that shape since. To me they look unhealthy and smashed up. Is this normal? I am running a camper shell.

    I can’t say I’d go with a AAL.
    The factory springs are “sloppy”.
    I’ve never yet seen anyone that has went from an AAL to a full pack regret it.

    I guess what I’m saying is, you are asking the AAL to do a whole lot.
    The factory springs aren’t helping much.

    FWIW, I am stock.
    I spent my money years ago playing the lift game on my Gen 1.
    My Gen 2 springs are damn near frowning.
    But, I’ve used it for what it is

    Mine are beyond flat. They are hyperextending after 3 weeks. Will they break?
