ok i got my 2.5" RE AAL installed today in the 99.. it was sagging before a little bit.. after tightening down the spring pack with the full length AAL as the 2nd leaf in the pack it seems that my main leaf is not only weak, but is actually bowed at each end in the opposite direction!! the ends of the AAL are basically at the spring eyes front and rear.. and the rest of the pack sandwiched nicely together except the main leaf on both ends.. about 6-8" in from each end it is actually bowed up away from the AAL .. i see this as an amplified visual of how badly they were sagged.. its right where the original second leaf ends put pressure on the main leaf.... i take it the second leaf is a bit stronger than the main leaf. new full packs next year but for now i will keep an eye on it as it settles.. initial measurements give me nearly 3.5" lift in the rear with this setup... i dont kniow much about spring integrity, am i seeing a classic case of tired springs? or should i actually be concerned about this?? the space between the main and 2nd leaf is nearly 1/8" on both front and rear of both spring packs..
thanx
