if i go with rear blocks i would just be stacking them on top of the ones i already have correct? would i need to get new u bolts and the screws or would they use the same ones? the same with the AAL they would be stackin on my current ones correct?

Yes, you can add the Daystar spacers. If you don't have them already with your Fabtech lift, I'd install adjustable camber bolts. Some trucks need them to get the alignment within specs, some don't. They are only about $40 so it would be worth it to install them just in case.

Depends on how your rear is lifted now. If you have a block (I wouldn't go larger than 5 inches) , go with a taller block or add-a-leaf. If you already have an aal, I wouldn't add another one.

well the block I have is the one that came with the 7.5 inch fabtech lift and the AAL I have came with the truck when I first bought it. so would I still be ok adding the 1.5 inch AAL by fabtech?

Yeah. you just don't want to stack two aal's together. It would make the rear springs too stiff.
