Hey nice looking truck you have. I also checked out your website, nice stuff. I was wondering something though. I have a 2006 2WD SCREW with a 2.5" leveling kit that I will be adding a 6" Fabtech lift to. The question I have is in looking at your site I see you have AAL's, but I was wondering if you have them for 2WD trucks? I really want to keep my 2.5" leveling kit to ensure I can fit 325/65r18 tires on my truck after the lift. I know the Fabtech only comes with 2" blocks for the rear on 2WD lifts so I will need to get a bigger block, but in keeping the leveling kit I will still need something in the rear so I was thinking of a 1.5" AAL. Thanks

 

Thanks for the reply. So if I don't keep the leveling kit will I still need an AAL or can I just go with the bigger rear block? I really want to ensure I can clear the tires I want because I don't want to spend $2k on tires/wheels only to find they don't fit. I know that our 2WD trucks have a lower stance then a 4WD truck, that's why I was wanting to keep the leveling kit. I won't be doing the install myself (unfortunately I don't have the abilities or the space to do something like this) so maybe I will talk to the shop doing the install about the setup such as your's.

Another thing on your site I saw that I will be getting is the Fabtech steering stabilizer.

 

You'll need to talk to an alignment shop about the leveling kit plus lift because I can't say to do it, so you'll have to check with them. I've got the dual steering stabilizer on mine. Here's a pic...little hard to see them but they basically just hook from the rack and pinion mounts to the tie rod

 

So if I do stick with the leveling kit which AAL size would you recommend I go with? I will talk to my installation shop about recommendations also. Thanks

 

Depends on how you want the truck to look. Easiest way to tell is get everything done and then measure from top of rim to wheel well and then jack the truck up (stand at least 10 feet back and in the middle) and then measure it again once you get the truck sitting as you like subtracting actual height from desired height and we'll go from there. As a general rule don't compare front with rear measurements because most wheel wells aren't cut the same and will give you an inaccurate measurement so do it as stated above to desired height

 

Thanks for the responses and the information. Would you recommend that I go with the 5" block as part of the initial install?

Also what do you mean by this comment?

If that's the better way to go for my truck and for certain I will clear a set of 325/65r18 tires (remember I have the lower stance 2WD) then I am willing to go that route as well.

 

The skyjacker kits are a 2 piece polyurethane. One piece replaces the current rubber inside the coil over and the other one sits on top. I just put the one that replaces the current rubber and it gave an additional 1.25". I would go with the 5" blocks on a 2wd and then you probably won't need an add a leaf but can still put that on later if need be

 

Thanks for all your help. I have some thinking to do on how exactly I want to go about this, but I know I want to do it in a way that has the least impact on the suspension in the long run.

 

do you have a 3 inch aal to fit my truck? (same as his)

 

Can't get 3" without having the springs to arch them up and add a leaf.
