add a leaf questions?

hey guys i am going to be ordering 5100's soon and also aals. I know I want the 1.5 inch aal but i dont know whether to get long or short. and also where is a good place to buy the aals. o and i dont have tsb

 

Get the longer aal for a smoother ride. Get it at toyteclifts.com or wheelersoffroad.com

 

Or look into an icon 3 leaf progressive pack.

 

ok i not looking to spend much. it just i need new shocks which i am going to get. and i need the aal to level out the lift and to allow me to haul more. i cut wood a couple weeks ago and put it in my bed and it just sunk

 

ok i do alot of off roading nothing extreme but my ride is way to soft right now like its ridiculous

 

should i go with the toytec or pro comps

 

if i set the billy's at 2.5 wil i want a 2inch aal or 1.5inch remember i dont have tsb?

 

Do you want the truck to be level or have it sit like stock just higher? If you want level I say 1.5". If the other way then 2".

Go with toytec. Pro comps aal is short and rough.

 

the 3 leaf progressive pack will ride much smoother with less vibrations/shudders. however, since the overload leaf is removed you will suffer a loss of towing and load capacity. a regualar, 1 leaf aal is cheaper but the ride will be a little stiffer, possible vibrations, but load capacity will not be affected

i'm currently trying to decide on this as well, i want the smoother ride but i might be towing and hauling a bike around in the future so i do not want load capacity to suck

 

if you go with the 2" aal and billy's at 2.5", your truck will sit .5" less higher in the rear than stock. so you are gonna have a little bit of rake but not like stock. a good idea if you plan on hauling or towing anything.

 

I have the pro comp aal, short and my truck came with 4leaf in the rear. No complaints here about the ride being too rough (also running m/t's)

My last 4x4 was an 06 wrangler sport, lifted - and the procomp - even with the short aal is SOOOO much smoother... so perhaps I'm just biased!

 

do you mean on the 3 pack aal where they say to remove the overload, you just didnt remove it?

 

hmm. did you get extra lift height from it?

 

so what would be the best AAL pack for offroading then, i currently have a 2 in. block in back with no tsb and just OME shocks in back, i want to get a 2" leaf kit and just remove the block cause i want to keep the truck how it is right now but i don't know what would be the best for off road performance. i also will occasionally loud up bikes and what not in the bed..
