    So I was looking at my leafs the other day and realized they were sagging pretty bad. I thought about an AAL, but I really dont see it fixing the problem. I don't have the TSB either. I did see these though. http://www.mrtoyotaparts.com/PD-CS047R.aspx?MakeID=1
    It says 2.75" of lift. Doesn't that seem like alot? I plan on putting my 5100s on here soon at 1.75". But wont the back still be way higher?

    I'd say buy them and hang on to them, you might want that much lift at a later date... or you could sell them to a buddy with a slight mark up?

    isnt there a leveling kit that works in tandem with the 5100'S seems like an inch up front wouldnt be to hard to gain?

    The odds are you won't get that much lift out of them. Especially if your stock leaf pack is sagging anyway. If you read up on the forum, there are a lot of threads where guys put on AAL's and did not get close to the advertised lift. BUT, you might get lucky and get the whole bit.

    i measured both the front and rear and there's about 1.75" difference. so i really don't need the lift. i would have to fix the front then, cause the rake on that would be scary

    You can buy 2" AAL's on ebay pretty cheap. Try that. Mine are from Fat Bob's and I couldn't be more pleased.

    Oh, hell! How did that happen?? You're leaf pack must not have too much sag, if it sits that much higher. You probably should hold off until you put your 5100's on. Better safe than sorry
