    Just wondering what I need in addition to the leaf pack? 07 ac with the icon aal and rr shocks.

    So far i believe I need:

    U bolts
    Cb drop
    New shocks (might get icon to rebuild the rrs to handle additional lift)
    Maybe axle shims?

    Should i just wait and get the bamf relocate kit at the same time?

    you may need new bushings for the dakars. I think depending on where you buy from, some come with the bushings and others are separate purchase.

    Lube those leafs up really good. Friction pads would be even better. I am regretting not doing this to my set.

    Is this a good spring choice for fox/king 12" shocks with the BAMF kit?

    TIP: Make sure you have plenty of muscle or a second person to help.

    Those spring packs are heavy as all get out compared to stock.

    Centre pin collars install between the head on the centre pin and the bottom of the leaf pack , extending the head out further , this will allow you to add the slide in style axle shims later if you find you need them to correct driveline angles after lifting and if you don't need shims the collars do not negatively effect the connection between the leaf pack and axle .

    I got mine at my local spring shop , or you can get them online here
