    Yes, factory overload is left in and it did maintain close to factory rake.

    That's how they should look from the factory.

    Looked like it from the pic on the mountain with the CBP truck behind you. I'm usually in Sierra Vista. What part of AZ?

    Yup, that was Montezumas Pass. I'm in the Bisbee/Sierra Vista area.

    That's correct!

    Do you watch the AZ forum? They do runs every month or so around Tucson. Charouleau Gap, Chiva Falls.

    Would not have air bags helped more with the towing tongue weight ? Adjustable to any load.

    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly a 1998 SR5 PU, 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    True, but the leaf also allows for more extension off-road as it does not lock in at the stop like air bags do (if you are using the typical ones such as Firestone’s), and more importantly to me was that AAL’s add more weight load capacity to the rear springs themselves, airbags only increase the distance/height between the stop and springs/axle. I would do a combination of both, but for now I’m just trying out the AAL as we like to collect rocks in the desert and sometimes also have the weight of the trailer on those same trips.
