sorry to jack your thread dude but i have a question that relates to this topic is all. does the AAL do justice to correct sagging in the rear or is a full leaf pack replacement what im gonna need, im stock on 32's right now, and with some trimming they fit great, but once i hit a speed bump i can hear the rear tires rub, so i was lookin at a 3" lift with a 2" spacer in the front, ideally i want about 4" in the rear and 5" in the front, what is your guys' input? i honestly am sticking to a budget because it is my daily driver so i dont need a badass rock crawling setup is all

Adjustable Trackbar - Check
I am in the same boat (going from 3" to 5") , I just got off a live chat with Rough country, told them I had 3" coils and I about to run a 2" puck they said just redrill the stock trac bar over, no need to get a new one... I keep hearing mixed opinons on this....

I was looking at getting the RC trackbar relocating mount and adjustable bar. Along with ordering a drop pitman arm.

So I'm guessing relocating mount is meant to be used with the stock bar but can be used on an adjustable?

Main and #2 spring from a S10, through AAL in trash or sell it. or shackle relocation brackets.
Swaybar extensions or disconnects
Control arm drop brackets, if you want a good ride and some flex.

OR

Keep the 3" lift and trim some sheet metal
Is a drop pitman arm needed with 4.5"?

No, AAL will not permanently solve your sagging problems. They will eventually sag too. Just go with full leaf packs
