    No, seeing as how you have a top-plate spacer, the Billies will actually make the ride stiffer, because they preload the springs.

    But as others have said, they are a much higher quality lift than you have right now.

    with 5100s he wont need the spacer, so he can sell it/throw it away and just ride on the 5100s which will be a butt ton smoother than what he's got now

    Yes, but the ride will be stiffer, because the spacer he has now does not compress the coils.

    It stands for "add-a-leaf". It is a type of rear lift where you put one more leaf in you leaf pack.

    No, they are not. Only ways to lift the back are blocks (not recommended) or AAL's.
