    Tire size looks alright, I guess. Which AAL would you all go with? I've been thinking the icon three leaf progressive (remove the overload spring), or the headstrong one. I've heard good and bad about both.

    yeap they really are all the same. pretty sure they all come from the same manufacturer. some one had mentioned it one time and had the proof to back it up but idk where it was mentioned

    I think there are only a few companies left that make spring materials. Dorman is one of them in the US and there are a few offshore.

    They look fine on my smartphone (phablet). Ive never used a computer to get on TW, I always use my phone.

    Nice use of the picture at the end! That reminds me, my sister was going to give me her GoPro. These cell phone photos aren't the greatest.

    Tires look good! I've had good luck with the Icon Three Leaf from @HeadStrong Off-Road with the overload removed. I gained 1-3/4" of lift on my Access Cab. I added the 1" Brake line Spacer block also.

    This is what I used as a spacer until I did extended rear brake lines. It's 1 1/4" tall

    @Ironium just asking, but what's your reasoning for removing the factory overload? I left mine in just give me that extra 1/4in height as I did 887s upfront for a full 3in lift. I don't think there is a pro or con to doing it, just wanted to know your thought process is all.
