Idk which one to get to lift the rear of my truck. They are both 3inches so the amount of lift will be the same. They're gonna go on a 2005 2wd supercrew. Thanks for the input.

definitely go with a AAL, i have one and the truck doesn't ride any rougher than stock but the truck handles weight a whole lot better the before.

Okay thanks. I've heard that rarely the rear block could fall out. Also what type/brand did you get? Around how much for it?

i have the same truck and did a three inch lift. I used a factory 4x4 block and it worked great. But when you put load in the back the leafs just bend over the block which SUCKS. get the add a leaf it will be much better and you won't sacarfice ride. Here is mine with the three inch lift and 33's
