AAL's

Hey everyone,
I've looked at all the forums related to this topic and couldn't really find a straight answer. If I get a 2" aal, will it settle after it gets broke in? If so, how much and how long does this usually take? Not hauling any heavy loads on the truck...

 

From all the threads I read on the lift I want to do, it seems that it does settle around a half inch

 

Welcome to TW. Yes, I believe it will settle some. Also, something to consider, many companies make a 3 leaf progressive AAL that will get you 2” if you leave the overload in. Helps to not ride as harsh as a single 2” AAL. Just food for thought.

 

Thanks!

 

This is something I’m contemplating. To me the rear is too soft anyway, and could be a little firmer. Is an AAL a little firmer or a lot firmer?

 

I had a wheelers 1.5” single AAL on my first tacoma then later switched to the headstrong progressive AAL. In my opinion, the 3 leaf is a much better purchase. It’s not too stiff, but is definitely firmer than stock.

I’m running HD dakars on my current truck, and if you can justify the cost, it’s the best purchase I’ve made suspension wise.

 

Follow up question... if I go with a 2" AAL, will it settle to less than 2", or will it start out more than 2" and settle to 2"??

 

Has anyone tried American Automotive AAL's?

 

About to purchase some HDs in a month or two! Stoked

 

Throw some weight in it for a few days and it should settle quickly

 

i got deaver AAL for about 2 yr now. It's settled and squeaks. The pads are worn out and it touching metal to metal. I hit it with some spray lube to keep it quiet once in a while

 

debating on what leaf set up would go well with Eibach Pro Truck Stage 1

 

If I lift the rear of my TRD Sport 2", will I need longer shocks?

 

I’ve put on a 1.5” AAL and it hasn’t settled with about 1000 miles of driving and hauling. But I only have 6k mi on the truck
