Well I went with the Superlift AAL. Ordered those, new U-Bolts and clamps. got it all from Summit for under 125 shipped, ordered yesterday and their out for delivery today. I'll be putting those on this weekend. I did go to a tire shop and they did a test fit for the tires and wheels i want. going with the MB chaos 5 and the Nitto terra Grapplers in 295 70 17. with the -6 offset they fit fine so the 2.5" AAL will bring me about 3/4 inch higher in the back and should be a great help keeping the turck level when i tow. I'll update when i get done.

i would just bring the front down til it looks good cause you'll fit 285's easy and then you dont have to go through with changin blocks.

my screw cleared 35's on the stock wheels

i just did 2in zone aal, actually gain was about 1 5/8in. i have my keys almost full crank and sit high in the back. they work great when towing, way less sag when i have my loaded car trailer hooked up. As far as the ride quality part it's a truck so go figure, doesn't bother me much

I got the Superlift AAL's on yesterday, added 2.5 inches to the rear, have 1 inch rake to the front now, rides like it did when it was new. like stated; it's a truck go figure. the stiffer ride doesn't bother me either. the trailers should be a bit more level while towing. less sag. liking it so far
