Getting ready for 37's - 3" or 4" AAL

Is skyjacker they only one that makes a AAL in the 3" to 4" range? I'm about 1.5" lower in the rear and already have a 5" block and 2" aal installed from last year. What does the Rize kit use to lift the rear to match the 8" lift up front?

I got the 2.5" AS back on today, gave me about 2 1/4" lift in the front. I'll take some pics tomorrow. Just have stock wheels/tires on right now, 37's want be here until Tuesday.

I'll get some but it will be tomorrow. (wife took the camera today)

IMO, they are not any more then when I had the 2.5" spacer on without a lift. I still plan on getting dirt logic in a few months (like 12/25 )

It's not my daily driver so it will work for a few months, just want to fix that sag a$$ look.

I had issues with 37's rubbing every once in a while with just the 6" lift. So I went the 2.5 AS and the 4" AAL just a couple of months ago. No issues now, and it looks great! No more of that saggy a** syndrome...

Did you go with skyjacker AAL? Post some pics of your setup.

What lift do you have on your truck. How has the truck been after you put on the AS any issues of any kind.

Before adding the additional 2" of lift up front. I was running the 6" Rize Block plus a 2" add-a-leaf which sat perfectly level.

So how much lower are you now? What's your plans to fix? Are you keeping the spacer on the front?

It's 2" lower in the rear currently. I'm going to add a 4" Deaver leaf pack. It's a complete leaf pack with bushings for $530. I think it's got another leaf from the factory set-up as well.

How much did that change your cv angles and upper ball joints?
