    Okay so I got new Fox 2.5 coilovers and Total Chaos Fab UCA’s the front I am lifting 3 inches. I’m trying to figure out what I need to do with the back. I know that I can get Leaf Packs or AAL’s what would get me leveled out front and rear if I’m lifting front 3 inches. Also what’s the best pricing for install.

    well what does your budget look like? An AAL can do 1-1.5" lift which will get you close to the 3" up front but a dedicated leaf pack would be better to get that 2" that may be needed. Why the need for 3"? Why not 2"? 2" up front and a 3 leaf AAL for 1.5" in the back is usually pretty spot on perfect for leveling it out. Also keep in mind that some shocks, including aftermarket, may only be rated for max of 1-1.5" so any higher and you may need to switch out your shocks

    Pricing for installation of just the front, 300-400. All four corners plus AAL probably like 600. Depends on the shop.

    Are you carrying weight in the bed? I went with Dakars when I ran a rack and RTT daily. I went down to an AAL when I got rid of the extra weight.

    Call Wil at Sierra Expeditions. Only place I’d use in the valley. It’s east side but worth it. He backs his work.

    budget wise I can drop up to 800 on it. I have the 0-3 inch Fox suspension for upfront . I mean I can do the 2.5 inches in the fron I don’t mind. Any good AAL’s for the from that are 1.5 inches? I know leaf packs run around 400-500 for both. No weight besides a bed cover. Maybe small things like a high lift jack and some maxtraks but that’s about that.

    I called this morning and it ran around 420 for just front install. So far calling around and found that the lowest price I got around was 380 with alignment. I have not much weight besides a bed cover. And here and there Maxtrax and a couple gas cans

    Best price on a install is a DIY. Not that hard.

    2.5 would be a good height and wheelers has a good budget priced progressive AAL

    Wheelers offers a discount for TW members too. Bought plenty from them, would buy again.

    I've ridden in the single leaf and the 3 leaf one and I prefer the ride of the 3 leaf. Also check out headstrong off-road, very loved here on TW. You can also contact Marie and she will have more information and advice, she's probably one of da best

    Did you get your lift put on yet? I'm still willing to help but this weekend is not good. During the week would work best for me.

    I got Icon RXT pack and put option 3. Lifted 3+" in the back. I did it myself, easy to do but hard work. I need to drop them soon to fix the squeak on them. If you in the EV stop by to see the setup.
