    Man, I forgot how awesome that day way. The transition was literally night and day for me.

    Be sure to keep your overload springs. I took mine off per the instructions, originally... but ended up placing them back on. They don't stiffen the ride until you overload the bed, but I wanted the additional ride height in the rear.

    Let me know how it turns out!

    The wheelers 3 leaf and rear 5100's are a must!! Holy crap what a difference I have only driven 5 miles on the road so far but it is soooooooooooo much better feeling. The new AAL and 5100's soak up all the bumps. They ride nice and I wish that I would have done it earlier. Thanks again for the TW members input.

    5100's all around, front at 0 with Ebiach springs up front; Wheelers 3 leaf AAL rear, Spidertrax
    I had a set of the Wheelers 3 leaf put on a couple of weeks ago and removed my 1'' block. It was a good decision. The ride is better and it does handle the bumps even better than my front end that is (in my opinion) overly stiff. I recommend it highly.

    I know this is an old thread but with the 3 leaf progression pack and overload left in, how do you sit? You said that you have a 3" lift in front and am wondering if you have a bro lean, level, or slight rake. Also, do you have the 3+1 or 2+1 leaf pack? My TSB's are 3+1. I am pretty dead set on a 3 leaf AAL in the rear with the overload in, just debating on lift coil for the front (between 885 and 887 OME coils on 5100s). Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
