    @bot102 sweet photo,

    Thanks, I’m looking for a mild lift that will improve ride on the road but also increase OR and overland capabilities.

    Running a stock ‘18 OR currently and thinking about Bilstein Baja TX shocks and an Icon AAL.

    Any benefits to the full leaf swap as opposed to just a progressive AAL?

    IMO, full leaf pack swaps are better. I wanted to put the HD's in an not have to worry about adding more leafs later etc. if I up'd the weight a lot.

    If you go with OME, you get grease fitting for the pads which is nice if they start to squeak.

    @beorn the fat

    Did you end up installing it (I can't remember)? If so, how do you like it?
