    I ended up buying 10.21's truck and it came with fox 2.5 coil overs on the front, arms, and a pro comp AAL. I noticed the rear was significantly harsher than the front over bumps and from previous experience, I was thinking the AAL was the culprit.

    Right now I have some King 2.5's with the compression adjusters on order for the rear, but will running those on the softest setting even be a noticeable difference or is a full leaf pack needed, such as Deavers?

    Any other suggestions are also helpful and I don't mind getting my hands dirty with the truck as I did the full install long-travel install on my previous ram 2500.

    Icon 3 leaf progressive leaf pack. It will replace the aal and overload and will dramatically improve ride quality. I'll be doing the exact same thing in the next few weeks as I have the pro comp aal too.

    Thanks, after doing some research about that progressive pack, I ordered one up. It should go well with my Kings when they arrive. Guess the pro-comp AAL will just hit the trash can!

    nice! :thumbsup: ill be ordering mine in a few weeks as well. when you get yours.. could you do me a favor and take pre and post measurements and pics? im interested in the ride height difference between the aal setup that we are running now, and the leaf pack. wondering if its going to be the same as ours now, lower, or taller.

    Or maybe offer it up on the "I want free stuff" thread:).....just charge shipping costs or keep it local. Help out other TW members and it will prob come back to ya 10 fold. There's some younger guys and some older broke guys who would prob take it off your hands in a heartbeat. Just a thought buddy.
