    I just installed a 1.5" add a leaf and not sure I even got 1", is this common with this product, anyone running the 2" add a leaf? I have a 2" front spacer in the front but no other modifications. Not real happy with the wheeler aal. And yes, I left the overload in the rear leaf, just added the aal.

    Did you put it in correct? Longer part of the leaf to the rear.

    No sweat, just a bit pissed, not liking having to spend another $100 with shipping to get another in 2".

    Single AAL's generally don't do a lot anyway. And they sag quicker than a 3 leaf progressive 1.5 ALL

    yes, just added the add a leaf, have done these before but always got a little bit more lift, just not wheelers products. I emailed them that I was not happy, will see what they do about it. Considering that I installed it probably not much. I don't believe that I got even 1"

    Well, they are pretty easy to work with, so I'm sure they will help you out. I haven't had any problems with mine, and I've had them for over a year, and on two different leaf packs. I got about 2" from mine, and it hasn't really settled.

    did you go from 1.5" to 2"??? I emailed them to see if there is anything they can do, I put 2" in front and honestly don't think I got a whole 1" at best in the rear from that aal. rides nice but I guess I am ordering a 2" tomorrow.

    I went from stock rear end to the 2" AAL. I didn't take measurements because I was too excited, but I DEFINITELY got 2" out of it.
