    I have an 05 AC with flat rear leafs. Probably happened since i have a lumber rack and couple hundred lbs of tools i haul around everyday. I found a low mileage pair of OEM toyota 3 leafs for cheap. Can i pick these up and install a AAL?? Can you guys recommend me a AAL for heavier loads?? Would I need to run longer rear shocks?? Would I keep my oem overload leaf??

    I was planning to keep the fronts stock height. I dont want to lift my work truck. I'm hoping the AAL will keep me close to OEM height, with a better load capacity...The truck squats really easily with just a small load of heavy material. Ride sucks when loaded. I can feel it riding on the bumpstops the last time i hauled about 15 pieces of 2x4's.

    Id see what your dealer says, mine says they have a company ( don't remember at the moment ) but they aal to most of there truck that begin to sag in the rear. Id add a Dakar or deaver. check the vender section I know some vendors sell aal on there sites

    you could do a add a leaf, new leaf pack, or you could refurb your springs, i'd PM 4WD and see what load capacity you could gain while staying close to stock height.
