Default 2" BB question

I'm looking at Rusty's 2" BB. Is there alot of difference between spacers/longer shackles vs new coils/aal? How does Rusty's shocks ride? Anyone with experience?

I would go with the new coils. the Rustys Shocks are the same as the Ranchos. they just don't say Rancho.

if your stock leafs are sagging then yes the AAL kit will sag too...

the AAL kit is designed to work with stock spring that are in like new condition

if you use an AAL kit on an old worn out set of leaf spring that already sags 1" lower than stock then when you first install your AAL they might sit at proper height, but soon after the AAL will wear out because your stock leafs are not doing there job...
