Anyone know where to get an AAL installed?

Anyone previously gotten their AAL installed professionally? I dont have any 4x4 lift shops near me. Would a regular shock installer be willing to do this?

Anyone that has gotten this done, please chime in? Also, how much did it cost? I asked a local mechanic about getting shocks installed, he quoted $50 for the two rears, but I haven't heard back about getting the add-a-leaf installed. Im not even sure they know what I am talking about.

 

you possibly think of maybe doing it yourself?? Don't really have to be that mechanically inclined and you could learn a thing or two about your own truck you know.

 

Any place that deals with shocks, etc. should be willing to install this...

but you should try yourself... it's easy.

 

Do you need replacement U-bolts to do the AAL or do the stock ones hold the extra leaf just fine. Just got a quote from my local mechanic. Said it would be $300 total including tax. I think thats a rip off since I know it takes about an hour per side so should only be 2 hours labor. I called them out on it and I will see what the verdict is. I am willing to pay about $100 to get them done professionally as I dont have a garage. I would love to see the video.

 

i added mine myself, 3" it was very simple. i had never done it before n it took me about an hour or so per side i did have to get new u-bolts.

 

Here's another write-up.

Scroll down where the AAL install is.

 

Im in kent, I installed my own. In about 4 hours. thats only cause i didnt clamp the suckers. If youre in the area, i can help out. Otherwise, it isnt that hard to do it yourself.

I cant remember if my aal came with new ubolts or not, but i dont remember buying new ones for my taco when i put the aal on.
