It's a procomp add a leaf it was supposed to lift it 2.5 but it only added like a inch but if you chec out the applications before you buy them just make sure it lifts it the amount u need.

Keep in mind any lift numbers from an AAL assume factory springs that haven't sagged.....

I dont think my truck ever towed or hauled anything.
Theres no rear reciever hitch and the bumper has never had a ball on it, so I think the springs are still pretty stiff

A buddy of mine said he had his old leafs "re-conditioned" and this perked up his rear end a bit. He also added an AAL at that time. Not sure what the first part means, but I have an AAL from Skyjacker and I am pleased with it. Came with the 3" suspension package.

I got aals from rough country off ebay, like $50 shipped. At first it raised the rear a good 2 in but after settling about a year later its more like 1 in.

So I guess ill look for a aal with 3" lift so when it settles my truck will level.

What else should I need?
I know new u-bolts, but what about brake lines?

Nope, brake lines will be good, just new center pins but they should come with the leaves. I used the stock u-bolts, they had enough extra to work but it was close
