    Looks good! I mentioned it earlier, I would go with an AAL before a block. They're a little more expensive but way better/safer. I'll stop mentioning it going forward :)

    You shouldn't need an alignment if you are only changing the rear suspension. Front suspension throws more stuff out of whack.

    If I add the AAL now I will have 5 leafs and won't that really stiffen it up. I'm trying not to stiffen it up to much, do most of my driving on hard roads.

    Block would probably be an even harsher ride I would think.

    It's more effective to buy a set of cheap winter tires which are already heavily siped by design.

    From the reviews I've seen, when new the tires are sturdy. Over time (after, say, 3 years) the Kevlar layers begin to delaminate and cause the sidewalls to fail.

    I have never added sipping to any of my tires. I usually buy tires that are sipped by design though.

    A lot of people here just have two sets and run studs in the winter. I never have. ATs and 4wd all the way!

    My old Nitto Terra Grapplers and my new Duratracs both come with sipping.

    Thanks for the explanation, I've never heard of that before. Possibly because I'm in the desert where we don't see much rain, other than monsoon season for about 2 - 2.5 months

    Siping gives more edge area for better ice traction. Winter tires have a lot of siping.
