    I am installing 1.75’ blisteins on my tacoma and I want it to have a leveled out look. For the rear I’m looking to add an inch at the most and I don’t know if blocks or an AAL is the best option. This truck is not used for any off-road or hauling so it would be for looks only.

    My truck stock


    My truck with Bilsteins set at (approx) 1.75
    With 1.5 inch add a leafs from Wheelers Offroad.


    I would ALWAYS suggest avoiding blocks.

    That looks nice. I heard the add a leafs will wear down and eventually the truck sits at stock height? How long have yours lasted?

    Just did mine a few weeks ago. Mine are just there for now, till I get different wheels and bigger tires. I will go with a full spring pack to lift it again.

    If all you are looking for is the lift of 1.75 front and 1 back... with no wheeling... you should be fine with just AALs. You could also go with Progressive AALs. They are a little more money, but supposedly last longer.

    My AALs are just place holders because I needed new shocks, wanted Bilstein rears and had to lift 1 inch in the back so I didn't damage the rear shocks.
