anyone leave in the overload on a progressive aal?

just wondering if anyone has done this? I put an ome 3" up front and put icon 1.5" 3 leaf progressive aal out back. now I have some bro lean...im not spending anymore in my truck this year so I wont be getting a new leaf pack soon

 

Yep, I have Wheeler's 3-leaf (non-HD) installed with the overload still in place.

 

Same here, no issues with it other than my front bushing squeaking. But that is a Toyota leaf issue, not an AAL issue

 

I did also.. but after awhile It settled and I was really close to being level. but had a bro lean when going down the road or with very little weight in the back.
So I made me a custom 1/2" block for the rear. Had to get longer ubolts but now I have a little rake and looks a lot better.

 

Same lift here. Added 1/4 space drivers side front to correct the bro lean.

 

When I had my Tacoma I had the Icon AAL and left the overload leaf in. It rode great and handled weight very well also.

 

Yes left the helper in it gives you another 1/2" or so of lift rides great and only is used with a heavy load. Just need to get some longer shocks if go off road.

 

I'm a little nose high so I'm hoping this will level out the truck. I was worried about a stiffer ride and vibrations but I already have the carrier bearing drop and ome shocks in the back. U bolts are plenty long just may need longer bolts for the leafs

 

The over load will lift the thickness of the leaf 1/2" or so and is only used with a heavy load, rides good.

 

Anyone got a pic of this installed?

 

Icon 3 leaf. Left overload out. No need for it.

 

I have the Wheelers HD AAL, with the Overload Leaf installed. With the rack, shell and normal load of tools, the truck is sitting at about 4500 pounds. It rides great like this, and never bottoms out.



Not a great picture, but best I have right now. Truck is still in the body shop having some rear end damage repaired.

 

I was going to leave mine out to be as flexible as possible, but when I saw that the brake cable bracket is attached to it, decided it should stay.

leave it, you wont regret it

 

I just installed the wheeler's HD 3leaf today and left the overload in. rides a little stiffer than stock but a lot better than what I had. I don't have the front lift on yet have to wait until next weekend so I don't think the pic I have will help. tomorrow I can go out and measure it for you if that will help. 2011 OR dblc non tsb

 

Yes thanks. .I'm trying to see how this goes in? A shop put in the aah and left out the overload and now I want it back in for ride height. Just wondering how it goes in the truck

 

between the axle and your new leaves

 

Im at 24" from wheel center to fender. or bottom of the flare. I don't remember what it was at before I put them on. it was a long time ago. I want to say 22"

 

sounds about right... 1.5 to 2 in is about what you get with most AAL's

 

it looks a little funny right now with the back at 24" and the front only 20" going to drive it around a few days and see if it settles any. cant wait to get the front done next weekend.

 

I'm interested in the placement of the leaf supports or whatever hey are called. It's a piece of flat bar on the factory leaf that gets wrapped around
