Rustys aal
Hey guys I installed some rustys 1.5 aal tonight to help firm up the saggy rear springs and netted almost 3 in of lift
. Anybody know what I can expect after the springs settle because the hot rod rake just doesn't look good.

My short Rusty's AAL's w/ 1 1/2" extended shackles settled at about 3.5 total. I'd guess they gave me about 2" and they were about an inch more a month before settling

Drove the jeep to work this morning and the driveshaft vibrates horribly. Seems like I just created more problems for myself. I can't believe the aal created the vibration.

Retorqing the ubolt nuts with the weight of the vehicle on the springs wouldnt hurt. Did you do anything else, like change a ujoint or tires while you where doing the AAL?
