What add-a-leaf gives the most lift?

hey guys well sometime or another i am going to bump my suspension lift up to an 8in. and right now i think my height front and rear is perfect. so my question is which add-a-leaf with give me the most lift, perferably closest to 2in.s as possible because i don't want the rear to be lower than the front and most people that i see that have gotten an add-a-leaf say that it didn't give the lift that it said it would. any help is appreciated, thanks

I bought the pro comp long aal and I gained roughly 2inches of lift in the rear. Place added bed capacity is nice too.

yeah ive seen a bunch of good things about the procomp one but that's just the thing, you said you gained "roughly" 2 in.s. i really need one that gives 2in.s.

I would say I gained 2 inches. As when I put in on my truck was dead level if not the rear a lil higher. Now I towed with it and got it to settle in there is a small rake. Before the AAL I was 2-1/2inches taller in the front now I am only 1/2 taller in the front. Has been 4 months and a few towing trips.

I don't really think brand makes a difference, and from size to size they are all going to give the same amount of lift. I have personally seen most of the big names installed and out of the box and there is really no difference. I have run skyjacker short aal's and deaver long aal's with no problems and both gave nearly spot on the amount of lift they said they would. I recommend the deaver's if you want a long style aal, they have excellent ride quality and road manners.
