    I want a lift but dont know which way to go. I want billies on all 4 corners with 2.5" in the front on stock coils. Heres the question, i have the TSB leaf packs, would i need 1.5" or 2" AAL in the rear?

    I think 2.5"/1.5" aal sits perfectly. But that's just me.

    thanks for the pics T@CO. interesting to see how the lift affects the reg cab.

    I'm seeing that, i wonder what the install cost will be like... suspension is too important for me to try to do myself and screw it up.

    alright it's decided. I'm gonna get the billies installed at 1.75, then buy the 1.5 AAL if necessary. I'll make sure to add pics here too.

    Doing the aal is very easy and takes minimal know how and tools.
