    A little late, but I installed Headstrong's 3 leaf progressive AAL this weekend. I has given me back the rake I lost when I installed the TRD Pro Fox suspension, and I will no longer have the Bro lean when loaded with all my gear and bikes when going camping. I thought it would feel a little stiffer than it does, and I'm not sure if it will sag much later on, I guess I'll know over time.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    How much lift did you get? Trying to decide on this or full leaf pack?

    I got just under 1.5", however, from what I understand, it will sag a bit over time and settle in at about 1.25". Headstrong also has a model that includes a shim that gives you a 2" lift, which I would imagine will also sag a bit over time to probably 1.75". I really only wanted about an inch of lift, but didn't want to just put in a spacer block. Hopefully the extra leafs will work well with the extra weight I have while loaded, and still maintain a good ride empty. The nice thing about the HS AAL is that you don't need to cut anything, and can restore your OEM setup if you chose as opposed to the similar ICON AAL setup.

    Looks awesome! I ordered the same 3 leaf progressive pack along with OME 886 coils. Gonna order a set of Billstein 5100’s for front and rear as well as new UCA’s. Had 5100’s with 887’s and the 3leaf progressives on my ‘17 access cab. I left the overload leafs in because I had a shell and it gave it a slight rake back with the extra weight. :cheers:

    But these go to 11... I mean, they're rated to 1,000 lbs. Probably way more than the bed rails will withstand but still.
    I'll probably go to Amazon and get a few things, I need the T-slot anchors too, and other odds and ends. Thanks!

    I like the new look for the 2.5s, is this for 2021 or was this a custom order?

    Not the best picture, but it gives you a idea of the beam pattern. The light is about 8 feet from the ceiling and running off a old lawn tractor battery. You can see the center is the spot light side of it, then the wavy line part is the flood light part.

    Installed an OEM bed light kit.

    ...and hated every damn second of this install.

    reminded me of why I pay to have someone else suffer through installs.

    Other than that, the kit works great! Lol

    Is that an OEM kit? Doesn’t look like the ones that come installed from the factory....?

    Finished adding the Battery Terminal connectors (POS/NEG) installed them on top of the fuse box (made sure the bolt holes were watertight).

    Added in the Positive Power 4 AWG underneath, and on top.

    And... mounted the Powertray with a cutout for the brake fluid - and the Bussman RTMR is now setup and ready to wire things to it.
