4" AAL vs. New leaf pack. and some other stuff.

I wanna do 3" more of suspension in the future.

What do you think would be a better choice. I have a 2" AAL now and I didn't notice a difference in ride confort. The only reason I dont want the leaf packs is cause they cost 400 bucks from waht I have seen.

With 6" suspension I'm still good with the front shaft angle right?

Would there be a disadvantage to goign with a 3" spacer up front instead of say 5" coils and a 1" spacer.

If I was to take the shock towers and chop them down 3" weld a plate and drill a new hole do you think I could do that instead of purchasing new front shocks?

MIke.

i would say for the first question that your flex would probobly better w/ the 5' coils and the 1" spacer... not quite as stiff.
as for the shock towers, i know that some guys just remove them and put a flat plate in its place which accomplishes what you want to. i'm not quite sure how much that will lower it, i think it is more than 3". more like 6" if i remember right

you can get pro comp 4" packs at summit for like $140 each. i'd go with teh full coils and a 1" spacer. i have 7.5-8" up front and the shaft is fine.
