    AAl won't do anything to help in your angle. If using an aal instead of a block you would need a shim to help rotate the rearend upward. Just turn your block around the way it should be and try that since its tapered.

    4 inch Tuff country lift with uni-ball UCA's, 2 inch spacers in the rear (for now) 16 inch method double standards with 33" Toyo Open Country MT's

    That's what I plan in doing. 1.5 aal in the rear. And 3 in the front soon.

    Yeah, 4" is way to high to lift the front IMHO. Try the simple fixes like balancing the tires and such first but at the end of the day I would never lift a taco that high in the front with using a longer shock. You are going to wreck your cv's.

    Shimming the rear could help with axle wrap and other vibes and is never a bad idea. Just makes sure you buy the right shim.

    If you can't afford an icon kit, go with OME or 5100's. 95 percent of people buy those kits on here and have very few complaints.

    What shims do you suggest to get me by ? I have to save for a good kit. I'm gonna take an inch out of the front before I drive the truck. And order a 1.5 aal. I looked at shims and seen 2 and 4 degree shims. I'm not sure which ones to get.

    Update, spaced the rear of the block and vibes went away ! Exciting ! Another question since I have the rtd and the back was already pretty high how much do I need to lift the front just to level it ?

    Most guys who go with a 3" lift up front end up using a 1.5" AAL or 2" block to achieve a near level front to back stance.
