Default aal vs. full pack

until fundage allows me to put a true lift in i fell i am pretty limited in what i can do to my rear leafs to get rid of the sag. from what ive heard OME has some pretty quality aal's. the 1.5" is really all i need.. but ive also heard that aal's will pretty much ruin your ride quality. but what about full packs? if i was to get a lift, i think ive settled on the 3.5" variety, probably from rustys. the issue here is 1) i cant afford the full lift, TC drop and sway bar disco's all at once, and 2) i dont want to get part of the lift now, and part of it later and have it wear funny... so idk, all sorts of stuff to ponder... if anyone who has run an aal, or has a rustys 3.5 lift want to gimme your .02 vit would be great.

you dont have to get the disco's and t-case drop immediately and it wont wear funny i only use rusty's as well as all my friends and they give you everything you need and if you think about it adding one leaf to your stock saggy pack would really give much thats why ride quality degrades full leafs are the way to go but its super easy to skimp tons of people on here only have aal's

I replaced the 3rd leaf in my stock packs with the 3rd leaf from a Ram 1500 van and got 2-2.5" lift and no real change in ride quality. Paid about $60 for the van springs, and spent 2 hours pulling them (forgot the PB Blaster ). It got me a quick easy lift for now, and the nice long van main leafs for later down the road
