got my truck lifted. but the aal didnt lift the rear enough
 
so i put the spindles up front AAL on the back and pro comp es9000 all the way around. but the rear is sitting 3 inches lower than the front. i dont wanna do a block if i dont have to since i used a short AAL in the rear could i put another long one in there and get the added height? any other suggestions? i also have shackles already

on my 99 i had add-a-leaf and stock 4by4 blocks, I was happy with running 32.5 dueler revos, you might need bigger u bolts.

Why don't you want a block? A 3" block isn't going to hurt anything and will likely be the cheapest way to get the rear to match the front!

shoulda got the long aal, lifted mine 2 inches

x2 on the block.

yea i will do blocks till i get new leafs. and they were free luckily my brother had steel blocks laying around his work we machined them to the size. now just need u bolts

What spindles lift did you do, how high ?

I installed a 4.5" SuperLift lift kit BUT deleted the OEM and the SL Blocks and used a set of the 6" SkyJacker Softride rear leafs ! The new leafs equaled the 4.5" lift, maybe a little more than that.

On my short bed std cab the leafs ride a little harder than I wanted but ok for now.

Oh ya, add a leafs do not always add lift to a truck...

get a set of 6400 shackles

FULLSCALE 10-30-2011 01:41 PM

ah did not see that lol

craigs2869 10-30-2011 04:52 PM

lol yea guys already shackled (2in) and AAL. i would much rather have the skyjacker lift leafs where did you get them? and the front was a 3 inch spindle i forgot what brand not fabtech ones though.
and just to get an answer if someone could check out this thread of mine about my stupid snapped parking brake cable? https://www.ranger-forums.com/general-technical-electrical-18/emergency-brake-cable-question-128063/
