    Holy thread ressurection, batman! 4 year old thread!


    An AAL is short for Add-A-Leaf. Basically just adding to the existing stock leaf pack. A TSB leaf pack is a leaf pack that has had the "Technical Service Bulletin" performed on it, in this case, the dealership will add a leaf to your 3 leaf pack to make it 4, as some owners have complained of excessive sagging in the rear when hauling or towing heavy loads.
