2500HD springs with AAL on a 1500?

LongrangeLauber · August 28, 2013

So the new lift Im looking at (Mcgaughy's) includes 4" blocks and AAL. Since I already have 2500HD springs, would it really stiffen them up and make the truck ride like hell? I just don't want to go through with doing the AAL if it's gonna make a little 1500 really bounce in the rear.

I have 5" blocks in there now, and I have 6" blocks on the shelf, but I know everyone says don't go over 4" blocks to prevent axle wrap. Could always get ladder bars to solve that, unless they are just for looks...

I have 4" blocks, axle wrap is there but it's really not that bad...I can pin it from a stop she lights em up lightning quick I don't get any tire bounce or anything. I wouldn't worry about the blocks...

the add a leaf will have to be for the 2500 spring obviously. but you should be fine. shouldnt make the ride anymore harsh that it already is and you keep the axle warp to a min.

Same width and length, only difference is the number of leafs. I guess I can install them and see how it rides. Its not like my truck hasn't been in pieces before haha

Each leaf is a different length so I would get one for a 2500hd

Don't really have an option as it comes with the kit. They don't even offer just the front portion of the lift cause that's all I need so I know they won't change the rear for me

Just do it man. It'll be ok.

If the leaf doesn't fit I will have 2", 3", 4", 5", and 6" blocks to choose from. I think I'll be able to figure something out, without stacking them of course
