Blocks or Add a leaf?

i am going to buy a 3" TOYOTEC lift, and they offer rear blocks or add a leafs. my question to all of you is what do you think is better and a smoother ride... and the best quality... i am looking for quality and performance.

thanks for the help.

 

AALs are better than blocks by far, it'll give you a bit stiffer ride, but not too much. Blocks will give you axle wrap, not good.

edit: the best quality would be to get new coilover shocks with new leaf packs that give you a lift.

Just a heads up... I am getting the TSB done for the rear suspension because they basically add a leaf for you for free. Then I am getting 1 inch block in the lift kit I just bought.

 

thanx for the help and incite everybody ...!

 

does a 1998 toyota tacoma qualifie for the add a leaf TSB???

Uhhhhh, no, but it should.

 

Blocks are really bad especially if you go offroad.

I've seen atleast 3 blocks fly out of a vehicle because they broke in half while the axle was under torque. One paticular situation.... if the airborne piece was 3" higher, it would've castrated a guy.

 

^ouch.

 

I love my AAL on my TSB springs, nice truck ride no more soft squishy feel.

 

I have an 05 and i havent got my TSB done although i should have. But i dont have a squishy or harsh ride. I am going to AAL though. Next on my list.

 

Unfortunatley I had the TSB done and at the time Toytec didn't have an AAL for that application. I haven't had any problems, on or off road.

However when the time comes I will be going for some AAL's. My $.02
