    I used Head Strong AAL's. Raised truck about 3" in back. Still feels very soft, but load doesn't just put it on the snubbers. Just got back from a long trip (3300 mi.) with lots of crap in the rig and lots of offroading. I now want the real thing as I kept bottoming out on things that shouldn't have been an issue. Always a trade off...

    I took out the add a leaf as they were way too stiff, burlington. I have a 2" lift kit from rough country but the back is sagging, need a inch more to level it out maybe.
    Im not hauling weight but if they are soft Ill check out the head strong thanks.
