pro's & cons rear leafs or blocks
i installed the h.b. 2.5 frt level kit on my 05 scab. it sets approx 1" lower in the frt and looks awsome, however i pull a 7x16 enclesed trailer so when it is on the rear sags (have not measured). my question do i go with the rear leaf they state average 2" gain or the 1.5 block? the price is not that much different. concerned about making the rear alot stiffer. has anyone installed these? what has been your experience with the ride and height you gained?

the blocks are significantly easier to install, but the leaves supposedly stiffen the rear (good for towing).
fwiw, i bought, attempted to install, and gave up, on the procomp add-a-leaf, and sold it.

I have the AAL on my truck and love it. I don't feel a stiff ride. I feel more control under load now as well since my front end isnt acting like a snob (nose up in the air 
). I dont haul an enclosed trailer now, but when I hook the 20" flatbed and run to lowe's for stuff,
