Here are before and after pics of 2" leveling kit (autospring). I'm considering adding a AAL in the rear. I don't want it to lift the rear that much so I'm still researching it. I'm also going to put some Nitto Crosstek LT275/70R18 on the stock wheels. I've been looking for wheels for 3 months now & I can't decide on one so.....
with 2.5'' level but no add a leaf
2.5'' level with add a leaf
and from a wider angle
restored some rake and smoothed out the ride with my 0 offset 18x9s & 35s. I'm glad I did the add a leaf.

Thank you for replying and adding some pics Rutco. How much did the AAL raise the back end up? I like the stance of my truck but I do haul things sometimes & I hate when the front sits higher than the back. I wanted to make it so it won't sag in the rear when I have stuff in the bed or hauling a trailer but not sit too much higher when I'm not doing those things. If it sits .5" or 1" taller when empty is fine.
I've read that longer leaf spring don't raise the rear that much but I'm not sure how much? I also read on here that the pro comp AAL were good for what I'm looking for but is there ones that are better? I was also wondering if I added the 5100 shocks if that would help? Thank you in advance for any advice you or anyone else can give me.

Here is my 2009 with 2 1/5 AS front with AL in the back. I'm also glad I did the add a leaf since I am always hauling and pulling trailers. You can see the trailer hooked up in one pic and it has 4 atv's (that you can not see) on it with very little drop with the load. Tires are Toyo ATll's 305/22r/20 on XD 801 20x9's.

Looks good Blue Machine. What kind of Add A Leaf do you have (short/long, make)? How much higher does it sit when you're not hauling anything or you don't have a trailer hooked up?

Thanks Cmerollin. It is the Auto Spring brand. Here is the link to the one I have. http://autospringcorp.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&product s_id=57 . It raised the rear about 1 3/4 on mine. With out the trailer I might sit a 1/2 " higher. The ride is even better now than when stock. Let me try to post the pics again. Sorry for the small ones earlier.
