    So earlier you were asking about an AAL, but from what I understand, it is too late for these leafs, because they have a frown.

    If you are going to be towing, I would recommend a new leaf pack just for the improved stability and control back there. Keep in mind, this is based on my experience with the 5-pack (which is a 1.5 lift in the rear) and not with actual towing (yet). But based on my results, I can't help but think it would make towing characteristics better, since it makes overall ride (and body roll and axle wrap) better.

    You can call Alcan to describe what you need and they will make them explicitly for your truck/weight/desired use. It may be worth a call to get a price quote before you get all bummed out.

    I just spent the day removing my rear leafs, took them too a local spring shop that does alot of work on motor homes, I had a sag of about 1" on the left side which in turn affects the weight distribution and alignment of the vehicle. It is going to cost me $250.00 to have both sides re-arched with an added leaf and matched, then I can proceed to get the alignment done and hopefully eliminate some tire scrubbing.

    I had the same problem, then I put some add a leafs in. Wrong thing to do, it makes your ride so stiff in the back, but is pretty nice when you are towing stuff.
