What are these, addaleafs?

So I was puttering under the taco today and saw these things under my leafs. First thought they were AALs, but then I figured they were too thick, and why would they be pointed down? So if they are aals, figured maybe I'd flip em to get some more height or something. Dunno, I've never really screwed around with cheater lifts. Lol

No, AAL's are supposed to be thick like that due to their higher spring rate..

Ah. Yeah like I said before, I typically don't play with these kind of things.

Dunno if I wanna flip em right now though. Then it'll sit nose forward until I can find some coils that'll go good with these hellbentsteel coil spacers...

Yeah I've never seen thick aals. They almost look like the overloads that were on my cummins... Even these aals on wab's site are thin:



Speaking of which, BRIAN I SUMMON YOU! Haha, just kiddin. But seriously, I'll be ordering some stuff for the taco from you probably next week or so. Can you split your kits, or is it all bundle stuff? Thinking I want my hands on some REAL aals, ome coils, and some shackles...

Hey hey hey now. I've only flipped 2.5 out of my last 3 yotas... I ALWAYS drove civil on the road unless I was:

A.) In the cummins (It's hard to drive slow in a truck that weighs 3x as much as a vet, but still blows it's doors off.)

B.) On the bike (something in my blood tells me I must be related to Evil Knievel)

C.)

D.)

Oh forgot to finish...

C.) Being distracted by the womenfolk (be it playfully or angrily).

D.) Too lazy to figure something out for D.
