Question about Replacing Susp.

Hi All,

Going to replace all susp. I am a light duty user (once in a while I camp with approx. 200 lbs of gear), no shell/armor, and don't wheel.

Would like to lift about 1", maybe 1.5".

For the front, going with OME 883 with Nitrochargers (on all four corners).

My question is what to do about the rear leafs. I don't want to add more rake, and since I rarely carry a load don't want stiff leafs. What is your opinion about the below options:

- Headstrong 1.5" 3 leaf progressive AAL (concern here is using old stock 2+1 leafs),
- The idiot in me is considering a new OEM leaf pack 3+1. I think this provides approx. 1" lift after it settles.


Last question is how do the HS 3 leaf prog. AAL compare to the Icon prog. AAL?

 

morning bump...

 

Don't mind me, just talking to myself haha.

Ok, so called the stealer to get a quote on the 3+1 leafs. They quoted $750/side (leaf only, no install labor). SAY WHAAAAA?!!?! $1,500 for shitty OEM leafs? Got to be kidding me.

Called Alcan to get a quote on a custom leaf pack, to provide 1" lift over stock. They quoted about $630 for the set, including bushings. Definitely going to order the Alcan's.

 

You've got some more options here: http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Rear-Lifts_c_91.html

 

All AAL's are the same. To not exceed 1.5" you will need to remove OEM 1/2" overload leaf.
