    Right now I'm running just a 1.5" Toytec AAL on my 2010. My buddy is running the same thing and one inch bigger tires and mine still sits a half inch higher. From the floor to the bottom of the fender going through the middle of the hub it is 38.5". I was looking at a new leaf pack(or like a 3 leaf pack if it's worth it) for a better ride and more off road capability, but was worried about how it'll make my truck sit. Kinda thinking Allpro, but wanted to see what you guys had to say and how high they lifted your truck because I don't want to have the butt sticking up in the air and I really don't want to preload the Foxes anymore .Right now I'm running a mid travel in the front and no deserts here in North Carolina so nothing high speed really:(

    Well since no one would lend a hand I ended up getting fox 2.0 w/ resi and left the AAL. Rides 10x better and will probably upgrade to Allpro in the future. I hate open ended threads so I thought I'd try to close it a little.

    Center hub to fender measurements are better for everyone to be on the same page. What's that number? I would always recommend a full leaf pack over an AAL of any kind.

    Glad you like your new shocks, but it really didn't address your original post...

    I know I just felt like I needed to put something lol I don't remember to be honest. I took them and compared to my buddies and mine was defiantly higher. It ended up raising everything 3 inches instead of 1.5"... that's taking into account tires. do you have a preference on a leaf pack?

    Depends greatly on what you do with your truck. I went with Dakars W/extra leaf mostly because I tow my quad trailer with 2-3 quads regularly. Unloaded they are stiff and don't flex as well as some other options available. I have about 3" of rake in my setup and I does exactly what I needed/wanted. But that much rake and stiffness is not for everyone. You know what they say about opinions...:poking:

    I just installed the Dakar cause of all the great reviews. Some complain they are stiff, but I didn't notice anything. They feel great..and that's I'm running original Bilstein shocks. Probably pushing it, but the leafs feel great, and cheaper than AllPro, which was my original choice. I'm happy with the Dakar.

    I'm going to be doing more slow stuff/ trails. And I looked at the Dakars, but didn't really ever have enough info to pull the trigger, but this really helps! thanks guys. I will probably do some more digging, but this is a good start anyway.
