Installed 2 inch level kit and add a leaf
Will get pics up as soon as I pick up my truck. Looked it over when I paid the guy and it looks sweet. Super stoked!
Add a leaf: http://www.ebay.com/itm/260924235944...84.m1497.l2649
Level kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/221086440220...84.m1497.l2649
Hope they hold up well. Will be getting new tires soon. The stock 265/70/16 look ok but going up to at least 265/75/16. I don't want to do any trimming but will do light trimming if it adds another inch of lift. I should be ok with 265/75/16 based on all the info I've read here. That is only 1 inch larger diameter than stock so only 1/2 inch of lift.
Best part was the shop installed the front and rear for only $100! Way less than the tire shop quoted!

Ha, yeah I would have taken pics at the shop but it was uneven ground there so just wanted to wait to do it in my driveway for a good shot of the results. I do have Line-X liner which is about 250 pounds and the topper weighs approx. 200 pounds. My truck was pretty level before so I figured I would add a leaf to make sure I don't have reverse rake.

I have that exact same AAL. Regret it and am probably going to remove them soon. You didn't install so you don't know how much of a bitch they were to put in since they came with wrong and insufficient install hardware. They convert our lovely 2 stage springs to super stiff 1 stage that bounces on the road pretty bad. Make sure the shop put in isolators or they will start creaking really bad in a few months. Great for hauling heavy loads though and with your extra weight it sounds like it'll work out perfect for ya. I hope you like them.
Pics. Now.

Maybe I was thinking total weight of topper and Line-X is 250 pounds. Anyway I am pretty happy with the look. That is about the most level spot of my driveway. I'll find a parking lot and get some better pics of the rake. It looks like I am a little higher in the back which is what I was hoping for.
