    My leafs were pretty flat, maybe even a little sad. I put the 1.5" aal in and got 2.25" lift (also put in 5100s) and after about 6 months it's still at about 2.25". But never really load up the bed with any appreciable weight, especially for more than just a trip home from the lumber store. For the small cost I figured I'd try the aal first before spending big money replacing the pack.

    Wow this is a great forum. Thanks for all the suggestions, keep them coming.

    Right now with trashed shocks any little bump is completely jarring as it hits the overload spring.

    JBrandt- you bring up a valid point, on the ride quality and how often i will load it up.

    So another question on the old man emu springs. How well do they hold up, will they sag later on?
