Thank You UPS Man!

I ordered my AAL's from Summit less than 48 hrs ago and now they're here!
I'm impressed! Oh I got a free hat too.
Now I just got to get 'em on.

I think, I'd rather have the stickers, I'm not much of a hat guy. The plan is to lift it some day, but for now just throw the AAL's on to lift the rear end to make the truck level(I cranked my t-bars to the max).

31.95 I think. + 10.95 handling w/ free shipping.

How much of a pita is it to put them on yourself? I don't need new shocks too do I?

its pretty simple... just be sure to put grease between all the leafs so you don't have any squeaks... and im using stock length shocks with 4 inches of lift... prob not the best idea for long shock life but it works for now

nah your shocks will be fine, and that's not too bad of a price. Make sure and let us know exactly how much lift you get. I'm thinking about getting some but idk yet

That sounds good to me. I didn't think I'd need new shocks, but figured I'd check. I need to find a place where I can put them in. I don't really wanna have my truck on jack stands in a slanted gravel driveway.

well I might want them, but I don't want it to lift it too much. So I want some good measurements on the amount of lift.

everybody says like 1 to 2 inches but there is a big difference in those. Don't want it nose diving again.

If I get them, I'll get them from you if you still have them, but I want to see if the t-bars don't sag or at least not very much. Good so far.

Hey Mike, can you make a how-to with pictures when you finally install them? like a step by step process? im kind of interested in doing this and just want to see the process done.

If I do it, I'll take pics., but it will most likely pay to get it done I don't have a place or the tools to do it
