Jaderbut and hmfic,

Questions, since you both have 07's and both are running 2AS level and 1.5 add a leaf.

1.Does your add a leaf squeak?

2. Say my truck has a 2.5 inch diff between front and back.
I put the 2inch AS on the front which apparently is more like 2.5 from what people say. Then I do the 1.5 AAL on the rear.

Now im back at Factory rake measurements but looking at your pictures it doesnt appear to have that rake.

I like it... I wish I could find the picture of my truck with a 6" lift and stock rims/tires. It only stayed that way until I got back from the alignment shop.

I agree that some larger tires will look great on there. 35's would probably fit, but some 33-34" diameter tires would look better in my opinion.

When you put the 2" AS kit up front and the AAL in the rear do you take out the stock block or do you leave it in?

You leave the stock block in and just add the AAL to the spring pack.

The 1.5" AAL has no squeak at all. I did a measurement and after the AAL my truck sits about a 1/4" higher in the rear, I cant really tell it though.

This is what gets me..
If my truck is 2.5 diff between front and back. Lets say 37 and 39.5
I add the 2inch Level which apparently gets me 2.5
and add a 1.5 AAL which apparently gets me 2
Then im at 39.5 for the front and 41.5 for the rear. A diff of 2.5
But you say your only 1/4 diff.

So I guess im wondering if im going to have the same result with my 07 or if I should stick with just a 1.5 AS level.

I first installed the 2" leveling kit for my truck and sure enough the front was now sitting higher than the back. After some help from this site and many q and a's I was told that the 2007's have a different spring rate and that is what causes the front to sit higher with the 2" kit. Now that the 1.5" AAL is installed I would do the same set up all over again (verses the 1.5" level kit). I also tow two Honda Forman 500's to W.V. and love the fact that my truck with the trailer hardly drops at all in the rear.

For those with the AAL's, did the AAL alter the ride characteristics any? If it did, how so?

I just looked up the pricing of the AS kit. The front 2.5" kit is $79 shipped which isnt bad but the rear block is $109 + $16 shipping. I though the rear would be cheaper. I might just get the leveling kit for the frotn and then maybe add the AAL. I am torn between the AAL and the rear block.
