hello everyone. still deciding what to do to lift the rear of my 94 p/up. I am basically looking for a smooth ride to level off bj spacer up front. I hardly off road and never carry heavy loads. Been reading up on my options and am deciding between Downey, OME, and maybe the deaver triple pack addition. Anyone know how much if any, the triple pack will lift my 94 p/up and if it rides soft? My current springs are stock and have never been changed. Is this my "winning choice" over the other 2 options? Keep in mind, that I am looking solely for a good on- road ride w/ no loads or off roading and that this is a pickup. Thanks for taking the time to help.

I have the Deaver AAL on my 4runner. The ride is really nice, I hardly bottom out any more on the street. On my 4runner it did not lift it very much, maybe 1". I have the extra weight of the top on my 4runner so on yours you may get the full 1.5" lift. But overall it rides really well on the street.

Thanks for the help. So the add a leaf should bring my sagging stock pack back to normal again right? ALso, how hard is it to add to the stock pack and what else will I need, longer u bolts, etc. Thanks for the input and help.

On a pickup you should get about 1.5" lift, bringing level with the front. All you do is take out the overload leaf and add the pack to the bottom of leaves. You will most likely need longer u bolts.

Thanks, so its basically the same install as an aal? Do you know if it is a much softer ride than adding an entirely new pack such as the OME pack? Thanks again.

With some AAL's you have to take the leaf pack apart and put the new leafs in the middle of the pack. I dont know if it is any softer because my 4runner used to bottom out alot and now it doesnt. The ride is not stiff by any means, but I dont know if its softer at all. As of the OME pack I have no idea.
