Unless your truck was perfectly level stock, then it does not lift the rear 8 inches. I think it is a 5 inch block. Then they figured out an AAL was needed especially for the long bed trucks like mine. The front is where the 8 inches is measured.

So the 5 inch block goes on top of the stock 2 inch block in the rear? and then you have an AAL? Do you guys experience any axle wrap?

I'd like to get rid of my Rize blocks and put in a new leaf pack to help out with towing. Anyone else done this?

The reason I ask is because, I'm thinking about next time i need tires... Getting some 37s and putting the bilstean adjustable shocks on with 2 inches of lift on them... giving me a total of 8" of lift in the front... So i need to bring the back up to about an inch higher than the front(I like the rake). I currently have a 3 inch block on top of the stock 2 inch block with a 1.5" - 2" add a leaf. So Ive got about 5 inches of lift on top of stock in the rear, and im going to need about 7 inches of lift in the rear after I put the Bilsteans in. Maybe I should take the add a leaf out and put in the 4" rancho leaf pack. What do you guys think?

Did you put the block on top of your factory or did you take the factory out? and how much lift did you net off of your deaver AAL?

I've only got the 5" Rize block in there, no stacking blocks. I'm almost positive the Deaver AAL is either 1-1/2" or 2" but it's perfectly level. I've thought about getting the adjustable Bilsteins as well to give it a little bull dog or cali lean stance.
