AAL how high

I have a 2.5 leveling kit and i want to add a leaf. My question is how much will that raise me in the back and how does it affect the factory ride? Thanks guys.

I have to disagree. I promise you the AS AAL did not make my ride any different. Even my wife cant tell a difference. She would not drive my old ranger because the suspension was so stiff it would hit bumps and you would get sideways. I dont remember what AAl that was though. My AS 1.5" AAL raised my back exactly 1.5"

No change in ride at all. I installed a 2" Leveling kit and found that my rear sat about a 1 1/4 lower that the front. After the install of the 1.5" AAL my truck sits about as close to level as I will get it. Also I did not mind the fact that it raised the weight capacity and also when I pull my two Honda Foreman 500's my truck does not drop but a 1/2 an inch.
