blocks would definitely be easier to install and cheaper but if your hauling or carring heavy loads in the bed then your better off using AAL's. The **** end wont sag like it would with stack leafs.

I've hauled trailers with 5" blocks and a 3" drop receiver, sags no worse than stock.

This is no lightweight fwd car... it's a 91' DSM AWD

wow I log off with 4 comments and get back on today and have 22 comments haha yall been talkin up a storm. but the added payload capacity is what got me. this is an everyday use truck along with a work truck and a hunting truck so I'll definitely be doin a lot of hauling.
