    Do you want the truck to be level or have it sit like stock just higher? If you want level I say 1.5". If the other way then 2".

    Go with toytec. Pro comps aal is short and rough.

    the 3 leaf progressive pack will ride much smoother with less vibrations/shudders. however, since the overload leaf is removed you will suffer a loss of towing and load capacity. a regualar, 1 leaf aal is cheaper but the ride will be a little stiffer, possible vibrations, but load capacity will not be affected

    i'm currently trying to decide on this as well, i want the smoother ride but i might be towing and hauling a bike around in the future so i do not want load capacity to suck

    if you go with the 2" aal and billy's at 2.5", your truck will sit .5" less higher in the rear than stock. so you are gonna have a little bit of rake but not like stock. a good idea if you plan on hauling or towing anything.

    3" lift, and 265 75 R16 Trxus M/T's enroute. (to be installed in about 2 weeks)
    I have the pro comp aal, short and my truck came with 4leaf in the rear. No complaints here about the ride being too rough (also running m/t's)

    My last 4x4 was an 06 wrangler sport, lifted - and the procomp - even with the short aal is SOOOO much smoother... so perhaps I'm just biased!

    so what would be the best AAL pack for offroading then, i currently have a 2 in. block in back with no tsb and just OME shocks in back, i want to get a 2" leaf kit and just remove the block cause i want to keep the truck how it is right now but i don't know what would be the best for off road performance. i also will occasionally loud up bikes and what not in the bed..
