I didn't use the A-A-L on my reg cab truck. Figured it was shorter and lighter than a crew cab, so I wouldn't need it. It sits just a tad butt-low, which I prefer because it rides and pulls better. BUT, stick a 500 Arctic Cat 4x4 4 wheeler in the back and whoa baby! Boy does she sit down.....so I'll be putting the A-A-L in soon. These trucks need that. it doesn't severely hurt the ride, gives it a bit more load carrying capability, and brings up the rear just about where it needs to be. If it gives it too much, I'll just take it out and re-arch the factory spring pack. As with anything new, it takes some playing with to get it just right. As for the short(er) bed crew cabs, it works out perfect.

I just posted pictures of the Rize kit laid out in my album. If you want to see an assembly, go to http://www.planetradio1073.com/pages/mts.html and click on the assembly link. They don't have the pictures in the correct order, but hey, they're a radio station!

How much extra are the Bilsteins for the rear or was the price you quoted me with them? I can't really recall. . . and what do you think about adding Bilstein shocks up front, the stock length.

Thanks.

My crystal ball says this thread will soon be deleted.


ETA: Sorry Tx150, I wasn't complaining; Just pointing out the obvious.

You need shock hoops, I don't know where you can get them. I am not sure how the FTS loops would work on a Rize but it's worth a call (talk to someone knowledgeable, not the idiots who answer the phone). That is the case with Fabtech.
