    3 pack AAL (add-a-leafs) to your factory packs should do the trick.

    i've got 2" blocks in rt now but i've got a progressive 3 pack aal on order from wheelers hopefully they'll work better. only $156 from wheelers and i ordered the 2" extended brake lines. only other thing you'd need is longer shocks i'd think

    So the only way to get a rear leaf is a block or add a leaf? Looking at an AAL from the rear I hate how the bottom leaf shoots straight out and not curved. Is that just poor installation or how they all look?

    From factory the rear leafs look pretty flat. For quality and comfort, the more leafs you install the better the ride. Another words, installing a single 1.5" aal will ride much stiffer than a progressive leaf pack that gives you the same amount of lift. A block wont change your ride quality, but they dont offer any usefulness, just look. They can cause problems if you go too high.

    How is the ride quality with your set up? What do you have in the front?

    i liked them better than the Dakar leaf pack...longer pack as well, so i was able to pull some better travel numbers

    does the job for what i need them for...

    next set i'd probably shoot over to alcan and have a custom leaf pack made

    question. Lifted the front 3" and the rear added a 1.5" aal. My rear now sits just a half inch higher than front when empty. I'd like about an inch more of take. Of I get replace the 1.5" with a 2" aal will I need new extended shocks? Right now I have standard 5100s. Also thinking of adding a 1" block. Occasional dirt trails, nothing crazy. Not much weight in bed besides monthly camping trips.

    Dakar medium load leaf pack a few years ago. It's been great.
