    Need help deciding if I should stick with the 1" tapered block or go with an AAL. If AAL, should I use a progressive 3 pack or a single AAL?

    I currently have 1.55" front lift with 1/4" spacer on driver side with Bilstein 5100s front and back.
    I'm sitting with about half inch rake which is nice, but if I put anything in my truck bed, I sag just a little (barely noticeable).

    Will be putting 265/70/17 KO2s with black Level 8 MK6s once they all arrive

    I have a single leaf AAL and it worked fine when there was nothing in the bed. Now with about ~400lbs in it all the time i'm going to upgrade to a new pack. Depending on how much you haul and how often, an AAL might me just fine for your needs, and a good bit cheaper too.

    If you've already got the spacer/blocks, just leave it as-is, instead of throwing more money at it. Save up and get a proper lift once those are worn out.

    Research axle wrap! Might talk you out of using blocks.

    The blocks are tapered and I did pre and post lift pinion angle measurements so 1 degree tapered blocks was enough to get rid of vibrations. And with a 1" block, axle wrap is barely, at most
