I searched before I asked...

Anyone here tried AC 3pack + overload leaf? (inverted or not)
What do you think?

The reason why I asked is because I tow a pop up tent trailer. I was thinking that the inverted overload will keep the rear springs from negative arch and premature sagging. Also, the overload will act as a small lift block.

I thought about doing that myself with the PRG pack I bought, but I hadn't yet figured out how exactly you'd get it on there in the first place, and it'd likely stiffen up the ride up considerably

I was thinking you could just cut off the bolt, bore into it a bit to fit the peg for the AAL then put it all back together with longer U-bolts, but i'm not sure how safe that really would be...

 

[NISMO007]

on AC webpage, they advise to remove the overload and said if you don't you would need to use longer u bolts.

This to me, means you have the option of using the overload or not.
Right?

 

[Zedbra]

yes, but you generally add lift springs for articulation. keeping the overload will not give you that, and in some cases they can actually damage some lift spring sets

the AC aal will arch the leafs enough to where the leaf pack will never contact the overload leaf. thus the overload will only serve as a .5"-.75" spacer. then the AC aal will lift the back a full 3". so unless u have +4" lift in front id leave just the aal.
your small pop up caint weight that much to need more lift than the 3" aal. i tow a 22' bay boat #4500 with my AC leafs and the back end has not sagged at alll sence i put in the aal. and wit the 3" spacers up front when towing my boat my truck sits perfictly level.

No problems with keeping the overload leaf...

I bought the AC pack and kept the overload leaf. It did raise the rear slightly higher then the front but it looks good. I bought extended u-bolts and just chopped them to look better. Works great and the extra payload is excellent. I can put almost a ton with no problems at all. I haul 3-4 tons of pellets each season and it has been a dream come true. It is stiffer but I never notice it because I am use to it.

It shouldn't be any stiffer unless you are loaded down. I would think...

1. Which Bilstein shocks will fit AC 3pack + overload?
I was looking at the 5125 and noticed you had 2 choices. 1-3in. or over 3in. of lift.
Which one should I go with?

2. I want to take off the anti-sway for off road fun. I read that it is a bad idea if I tow. Anyone here tow without the anti-sway? Please advise.

Thank you.

2007 Nismo cc 4x4, radflo, PRG uca, blocks for now... (AC 3pack + Bilstein soon)

How'd you fit em al together? got a picture by any chance?

Silver,
What do you have up front?
