    Posted in the suspension forum but no replies yet (ok, so I'm impatient).

    I'll be adding a Snungtop Super Sport and towing a boat in the summer with ~ a 500lb tongue weight.

    Any recommendations on AAL's? Think I'll need a set?

    Thanks!

    Edit - I guess I should ask the question... Would anyone recommend an AAL for the weight, and if so, any recommendations on brand? Toytec or OME have been my go-to vendors for leafs in the past. I have read a little about Icon having leafs now (I had Icon collovers/springs in my '09, but used OME Dakar's for the leafs.

    I could go back to those, but thought I'd ask if there is something else out there that would be a better option to handle the weight with the Pro suspension.

    i was hauling around 500 lbs of tile and thinset and the axle was bottoming out on the bump stop when i went over speed bumps very slow. i also have been thinking about some type of helper springs. when sitting with that load in it the springs were arched up slightly!

    Interesting. I don't know what they mean by capacity, but if it's towing it's way lower than the truck by itself. Not sure I would use this on a truck I intend to use off road, but it looks like an interesting approach

    For this I think there are a number of options. I don't know if they have a TSB to AAL for the '16+. I'm pretty sure they build them with the mini pack and only stick in an AAL if you complain. Otherwise you should be able to get a pack from many vendors that maintain or change the rear height with greater load capacity.

    I'm just not sure what the best option is for my Pro since it uses a different set of shocks in the back. For me it's probably exactly the same as any other OR, but I thought I'd ask as different packs have different characteristics.
