    For the ride or the height?
    Definitely a consideration either way. I carry that in the winter. If/when I start adding weight back there I will have to figure a way to add the aal if needed. I don't see it as a huge problem, and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't something I could order.
    Edit: it looks like OME sells longer clips and rivets. Pg. 114 for what it's worth.

    Too bad there's not a add a overload option. It sounds way better than adding a block.

    I know. I was attempting to joke...Adding height without affecting ride. Maybe all the fumes have finally gotten to me.

    Time for my yearly update...even after a cross country trip with my leaf pack pushed to the limit with all my worldly possessions weighing them down, I haven't heard a squeak yet. IMG_2737.jpg
