    I spent about $150 for the wheelers 3 pack AAL and it lifted my rear end about 1 3/8"s of an inch...Also ended up level side to side but I think that was more by happenstance than anything.

    right on... I looked under the truck last night and noticed the left bottm leaf spring was almost straight and the right bottom leaf spring was a little curved... Is that ok..?? Will that hurt the Leaf spring in the long run..??

    I donno if this would be a good idea but does anyone know if i were to switch the 1.5" block with a 2" block on the left side to fix the "taco Lean" and leave the 1.5" block on the right side... Would that be a good idea or no...???

    Why don't you adjust your front driverside coilover?

    Whatever it takes to make them level...It's hard to use exact numbers for stuff like this...cause everyone gets different results.
