AAL's--EOE vs Calmini vs SLR

[DeFibVT]

Hey all,

I have been doing some research about the AAL's offered by the above off road store sites. I know the difference is one leaf spring, two leaf springs and three leaf springs respectively. What I would like to know is what you think of the AAL's offered by the different competitors. This is a mod I am planning for spring so any advice/opinions is welcome.

Thanks in advance for input.

I like my Calmini AAL's, the install isn't as easy as the SLR but it's still just a 3-4 hour job.

I think the ride is better than stock, a bit more firm but not harsh. But my rear springs were sagging so they were probably a little softer than when they were new.

The lift I got looks like more than 1.5 inches but I haven't measured so it might just be my perception.

I like my Calmini AAL as well... It's been only for a week since AAL was installed.

My stock leaves were not sagging yet, but I wanted to have some support before it started (I do have SLR 2" shacles installed). The arches with AAL look very nice.

The ride is....honestly, I cannot tell if it's any stiffer at all. It did give me some lift (I also did not take measurements), so AAL and SLR shacles make the rear higher at this point, but other than that, it seems to ride about the same as before.

The only thing I did notice was when I'm making a turn, it does not sway as much (rear sway bar's removed long time ago). So, there's a bit of improvement.

If I occationally tow or carry heavy load, I would have gotten SLR's, but then, I think I would feel them little stiffer compared to the stock's. But, Calmini AAL would probably what I need to gain a bit more support and a lift I wanted...
