Simple question. i had the tbars backed off, and it had quite a bit of rake. re-cranked them and now it sits almost level without the box. so, once i get the box on, itll be either level, or raked backwards. so, i want the bull stance, rake forward. im thinkin more towards a-a-l's. but of course, theyre more expensive. what should i got with? 2.5" Blocks, or 2" A-A-L's? and if you havent seen my truck, its in my sig and a link to the thread, etc.

I'd go with blocks, they wont change the ride quality and you can get them in 1" if that's all you need

AAL will help with towing/hauling squat and stiffen up the ride.

Blocks will retain oe ride, yet give you axle wrap and seems to wonder on the road a bit more.

I plan on a set of 2" AALs to get rid of my blocks. **** them :nono:

Instead of aal's i would go with 3/4 ton leafs, i did that and loved it. It added about 1.5 - 2 inches in the rear, helped the squatting issue, and was a direct replacement

I have 1.5" blocks and they don't bother me. aal's seem like a pain unless you do a lot of towing or hauling

Blocks won't be that bad. Stock F-350's came with 4" blocks vs 2" in an F-250. That and a solid front axle somehow upped the towing capacity by like 3,000 lbs :think: :shrug:

Plus your 20 year old leafs are gonna be sagging and the AALs will help with that too...
