Blocks would be cheaper I think... and would maintain factory ride. But AAL would give you less squatting with a payload and a stiffer ride.

I think im leaning toways AAL, but i dont care if it gets stiffer its a truck not a car and a little better payload would be nice

i would pick AAL if they were my only 2 choices.

but i would consider a body lift to get more height rather than cranking the torsion bars or any blocks or aal.

sometimes the cranking of torsion bars and adding blocks makes your suspension travel less. you usually want more travel when offroading or performance
