    Am I correct in thinking removing the load leaf will give me additional lift on my rear end. I'm also adding an add a leaf at the same time with 6 lug 5100 bilsteins?

    No, you'd be losing inches.

    How's that possible if the leaf pack is under the axle.

    Lol, oh crap I forgot about that. No, actually nothing will happen. I don't think so. Pretty much a aal is our only option to get a rear lift, unless you do a shackle reversal like I did.

    Lol, yes I know that, all I meant was not mess with it because 5 luggers won't get much more lift from leafs. Unless you do a shackle flip like I did or get a custom built leaf pack.

    I'd stick with just the AAL, it gave mine way more lift than I expected; sits higher than the front by about 2in. Only problem I ran into is shocks didn't fit. I have a 96 5 lug though so idk what model you have.
