    Hey all, I had a 3" OME 883 kit with AAL install back in march. I always mildly notice the back was a little lower but now that I put a topper on, it is definitely noticeable. Is there a way to lift the back just a tiny bit more, say 1" just to level it out?

    Your stock spring were probably shot and the aal wasn't enough to help. Best bet would be a new leaf pack.

    you could run some longer shackles if you're not going to replace the leaf packs. You'd need shackles 2" longer to get 1" of lift.

    This isn't ideal and I'd still recommend replacing the leaf packs as a better solution.
