Thats great.. Lets talk in 10,000 miles.....
Dont take that rude... I think that your factory springs might have some issues over time.. Springs are like paper clips... You can bend them very little for a long time.. but bend them past what they were meant to bend, and snap.... Im not saying your springs will break, but I think that putting one stronger spring under 2 weak ones is a disaster........ the weak ones willstart to spring the wrong way...

You saved some money short term, and found a short cut... Long term, it would have been netter to do it right.... Marty at truck toys runs a nice shop.....

how was all your angles after the install of that huge aal? does everything still line up good? i just got a 6" installed and like you my azz end sits about 1.5" lower than the front, everyone i spoke to said the front will/should settle a bit and i should have a level stance. i HATE the pre runner look and will be looking into an aal for myeself also. i dont really care about the ride quality, infact i think my rigs suspension is toooo soft, i wanna truck ride not a cadi hehehehee

the only way I think the front will start to sag is if you put new springs cuz RIZE adds extensions to existing coilover and mine is two years already so it should have sag by now. The AAL I put in comes with a shim and the shaft lines up pretty good with the pinion, the transfer case also lines up pretty close so nothing bad that I forsee in the future. It is a little firm in the back but like you say its not a CADILLAC its a BIG *** 4X4!!!!!!!!!!! so its very liveable, and with meats this big you wont notice anything

Very nice truck. I like the tires and wheels. I like what you guys have done with the lift.
