yeah man.

just do a little measuring when youre there, that should give you a good idea. an AAL that old would surely be sagging noticeably.

whats a full pack or AAL sit at with weight on wheels from a imaginery line bolt hole to bolt hole to the top of the top spring? you know? ive seen some AAL pics that were old and wore and them things looked all twisted up and wave like... if these are nice and curved ill probly do the swap... i was shooting for 3.5 but if hes gonna give me the whole lift then i cant complain...

Full packs, you can tell by the type of spring clips, They were put on by a machine.

they look like full packs to me. very similar to my rc packs except mine still have paint and you can read the rough country on them (when they're not covered in mud or sand. (damn northeast winters)

you could also tell cause most AAL's have square ends and the stock packs are rounded so if the second leaf is square and the rest are round then you got AAL
