Negative Rake Wheeler AAL

My 2015 had a leveling spacer installed in the front when I bought it and the truck has some negative rake. Looking at some AAL from wheelers offroad and was wondering is the 1.5" and 2" a big difference in stiffness and/or height. A 1/2 inch isn't much so I was thinking about just getting the 2" but then was worried about having to much rack after the install. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Get the 1.5" progressive three leaf and avoid the single stiff AAL.

 

Rake*
What size is this leveling spacer? 1.5"... 2.5"?
1.5" 3 leaf is probably what you'll want. Depending on what you put in the bed and what size the front spacer is.

 

rack... lol whoops. I'll have to go measure that spacer. Putting on a camper shell at some point as well as a pulling a big jon boat and a trailer with a zero turn.

 

It's a 1.5'' spacer in the front.

 

If you're putting in a camper at some point you might as well save up for a lead pack. But if you're in a budget I would say go for the single AAL if you're going to put some weight in the back or if you do get the 3leaf progressive one, leave your overload on .

 

I believe if the spacer measures 1.5" then it gives about 3" of lift. So either AAL will be fine.
As far as a a topper goes it will sag it down a little bit but not a whole lot.
If you tow the boat and trailer with a zero turn often you may want to look into airbags for that, or a full leaf pack.

 

Thinking about just going with the 2" AAL right now since I'll have the camper shell on it. Really would like the full leaf packs but don't want to put that much in it at the moment. Tired of the guys at work saying my truck has the carolina lean lol

 

Go for the single AAL and see if you can find some used sumosprings bumpstops in the F/S forum. Im suggesting single AAL supposedly it can support more weight capacity than the 3leaf progressive ones .

 

Single aal will be stiff. Rear end will hop around and it's annoying. Multipack leafs are much better.

 

camper top + towing = dakars

 

I have a wheelers 2in AAL.... its not stiff, suspension cycles very easily and the truck rides great. Yes it will be stiffer than a 3 leaf progressive AAL, but you have to look at it, you have 1 single AAL thats 3/8ths of an inch thick doing 2in of lift (so ~ 1 5/8ths from actual increased spring rate) vs the 3 leaf that is 3/4 of an inch thick doing 1.5in of lift total (.75in coming from actual spring rate increase.) Progressive pack will be softer but with an already floppy soft ass leaf pack something more to help the better.

 

I have the wheelers single AAL on a TSB pack (& bilstein 5100s) and it could actually be stiffer. It feels better than without it. Im a believer that shocks make more of a difference.

 

I've had both a single aal and multi leaf and the multi leaf is by far a less bouncy ride and much smoother. Taking it down a rough back road or washboard dirt road and the rear is much more stable with the multi leaf. With the the single aal the ass end use to hop around in the same conditions. Same shocks.

 

My exact experience as well.
