    When I looked I couldn't find much on this topic, and wanted to see if anyone has done this before. I have a 1.5-2" Deaver AALs for the rear that I would like to install prior to switching to 5100s for a small lift in the front-which probably won't happen sometime late next year. My thought is it would be nice to have that install done and out of the way, and the AAL would be nice for when I am towing my trailer or loading up the bed with firewood or hay. Thoughts on how it might look or effect performance would be appreciated!

    The rear will be around 3" higher than the front if you install AAL only.
    Typically, stock truck's rear is about 1" higher.

    2.5" - 3" over stock. There's already a slight rake so it looked kind of ridiculous after adding some lift lol. Didn't notice any difference in handling. Easy to see the road :bananadead:
