what i said was full pack. you could call and order the kit without the AAL, and order a leaf pack and shackle. .5" spacer would level it out as well. its a cheaper option, and a lot of people here will tell you IRO is awesome. but as i said, do what you want.

oh ok. I think using a shackle would actually be better (for flex and comfort on road), from what I remember reading, but I could be wrong. I'm going to have 4.5" coils upfront, and 3.5" packs on the rear with 1" shackles.

Kuz is right. 3.5 leaf pack + 1 inch shackle = better flex and ride. At 4.5 your shackle is gonna be vertical... it will destroy your packs...

yeah, go to iros website, a shackle is already in the kit, so youd only need to get the packs, and take the aals off the kit. now i wouldnt order until you talk to someone who knows 100% what is good, like dukie or ptmike, but thats just my 2 cents.

No add a leaf. Full pack, 1 inch shackle, and look into hdoffroadengineering shackle relocation brackets. Full bolt in, and beefy as hell.

call before you order to take the aals out of the kit, will make it cheaper, since your not getting a part.

Yes. You will want 4.5 coils up front, 3.5 leaf and a 1 inch lift shackle is the rear.
