Question 5inch block vs AAL

I have the 6 inch Fabtech lift and just ordered a 2" autospring spacer. Now for the rear, which is best a 5" block, or keep the 3" block that came with the fabtech lift and add a leaf. I do not do much towing, minus my boat in the summer time? What do you think?

My rationale was, i am adding 2 inches in the front, add 2 inches in the rear with either the block or AAL. If i do both wont i be adding 4 inches to the fronts 2?

No i have a 2wd and i am looking at the same setup i would do the 2 inch up front and put a 5 inch block in the rear, the back of your truck should sit about an inch lower in the rear

wait untill you do the front and then measure the front and the back back see how bad the rake is then decide what you need. i would not buy a AAL your ride dwill turn to ****. your probably going to be fine with a 5" block.

Call Fabtech, if you get right person on the phone they can hook you up. If you get the wrong person just call back in a few.
