    hey everyone,

    I was going to install a 2" AAL on my TSB leaf spring pack but I noticed that my leaf springs are somewhat flat. I'm not looking to replace the whole leaf springs just yet. I'm just looking to raise the rear up a bit because my truck sits a little nose high due to the weight of my cap.

    My question is: would I even be able to install the AAL on my flat leaf springs or should I get rear lift blocks (1.5" or 2"). I'm just looking for something temporary until I can afford a new leaf pack.

    Btw, I do not do any off-roading.

    Thanks in advance!

    I would say about a year. Looking to get the Wheeler's HD 5 leaf pack or possibly Dakars.
