Default AAL + 1" rear block possible?

Is it possible to to get the 1.5" AAL in the reaer along with a 1" block to give you 2 - 2.5" in the rear?

My question is because I'm thinking of getting the 3" protech ezspacers for the front. I dont think the 1.5" in the rear will keep it level. I dont want the rear to droop down below the front.

I already have the AAL 1.5", so I dont want to purchase another, just wondering if you can add a block also?

Also were is a good sight to buy rear blocks from?

Thank you

Chad

Im assuming that your talking about the 1.25 inch blocks from Protech that give you 2.5 -3" of front lift?
I installed those on my Tundra and put 1" blocks from Wheelers in the rear. Sits damn near level. Maybe a "tad" bit higher in the rear.

I have the Revtek 2.5" Suspension Lift in the front with a 1.5 " block in the rear in combination with the AAL's and I haven't experienced any problems so far. I re-torque the U bolts on the axles a couple of times a year and have yet to find any slop in any of the nuts. My truck sits almost level.

So does this mean that your rear with the blocks and AAL is making it higher than the front end. Are you sitting about 1" taller in the rear? Did you do this so when you put a load in the bed of the truck it wont dropp as much?

Thanks for the reply

Chad

Chad-

You are correct - the truck does sit about an inch or so higher in the rear. Actually, I did it to raise it up a little higher more than anything else. I seldom carry a lot of weight back there but I have had it loaded on several occasions. The rear blocks were part of the Revtek kit (they call it a leveling kit) and when I installed this kit there weren't many on the market to choose from, and hardly anything to actually raise the truck any appreciable amount. The AAL's only added about a half inch in height.
Hope this helps!

Gary
