I'm Awesome
I put a Zone 6" in the front and a ORD shackle flip (4ish inches) and 4/1 leaves in place of my old sagging 3/1s. Now the front is 3" taller than the back! At least measured in my driveway, which is sloped and the slope changes every few feet. The shop did crank it some to keep it from rubbing on the valence, so once I trim I think I can come down a little, but not too much since I have 37s.
Somehow I need to make up a couple inches in the back, and I've already crossed off a few potential options...
-Blocks: No thanks
-Longer Shackle: Not recommended by ORD, can cause too much body roll/sway and anything longer than what I have now would give me a crappy angle and thus crappy flex and ride quality. Moving the hanger would solve this, but it would also lower the truck back to where I started pretty much, but with worse handling.
-AAL: I'd rather not since I already have heavier springs and while I'm happy with the current ride, I don't want to go any stiffer.
Right now all I can think of is using a "zero rate" AAL which, for those who don't know, is a stubby little spring that doesn't actually have any spring to it. It works like a spacer/block but it actually bolts in and becomes part of the leaf pack and is thus more trustworthy.
But those are only sold in 1" thickness. I'd really prefer 2" but there might be a reason nobody makes them that thick.
Any other ideas?
