    Getting ready to have a 3-leaf AAL installed when I started looking at my factory spring pack. Are these springs FUBR-D? They look flat whereas the AAL has an arch. Is that right? The truck is sitting fairly level in these pics.

    Don't do an aal. Super rake and shit ride. Get dakars. This is 1300lbs of flooring on dakars. Not like they mattered though cause it hit the stops but they bounced right back. Drove 30 miles on highway no problem. Done this a bunch of times. Good leafs for the price.

    People in the 3rd Gen are bitchy, but to add pics load them to an image hosting site then use the picture icon in the forum tools box to link the url.

    that being said the OEM leaf springs are naturally pretty flat installed with no load - so you’re probably ok

    I guess I'm not smart enough to upload pics to this forum. Tried and tried and tried. Thanks for the help otherwise.

    The springs are flat from factory. Toyota designs them with no arch so they have equal up and down travel.
