    Okay so I took some photos of my truck this morning. The leafs are a lot flatter than I thought. So, my thinking is that if i went with an AAL then it would settle back pretty quick, am i right in thinking that? Should I get new coil springs as well? The more I look into it the more I want to just get new coilovers and new leafs. The truck has almost 200k miles and everything is OEM and rides rough as hell now.

    If I got these,

    I don't know man, I think I would spring for the OME kit and be done with it.

    That's the kit alright. I'm still kicking it around! LOL you go first!

    I gotta do something, my rear pack is shot and my shocks are worn out.

    It seems pointless to go stock when a lift isn't that much more. In fact, my wife just asked me, did you get your truck thing figured out yet?

    ^^thats the kit I went with. I added the 10mm spacer and rear brake valve relocation bracket.

    If you do not have them assemble the fronts go get new upper shock mounts from the parts store. I thought I'd reuse mine but didn't.
