My local spring shop made one for me and added it to the Pro Comp lift installation. An extra $120 installed. It gave me an extra 2" after settling, and better ride characteristics.

Yeah, but it's not a really big difference.

This is probably dumb question, but what is the advantage of the AAL?? Is it just for those that tow or haul??

I think it makes the truck look better. The wheel well/body lines get a bit off-kilter if you only have spacers IMO. The front wheel well will look too high. It did on both of my trucks and thus I got the AAL for this current one you see below.

Plus, it will give you some more hauling/towing capacity. It has had little or no effect on my ride quality.

I got mine at Summit for only about $85 delivered.

Not too bad my dad and I tackled it in about 4 hours. just make sure you have large C clamps and some wood blocks so you can drop the rearend. Also id recommend only one side at a time. We did it w/ all hand tools.

Its not bad at all, I actually like it more than the soft ride of stock.

I got it to counteract the slight unevenness of the 2.5" level kit, and b/c i tow/haul alot and many times the trailers are well over the 9,900# rating even if you dont tow trailers id recommend it for the looks.
