    So I bought a 2004 access cab a couple months ago with only 70k miles on it, but it has accumulated a bit of rust around the underside as it's been in MN its whole life, and the leafs are one of the worst victims of the salt, so I want to replace them.

    My question is: can I replace my rusted leafs with the stock double cab leafs for an end result of a slight lift? I'm lifting the front about 1.5" but I want to keep the factory rake look. I've looked at AAL and block options, but since I'm replacing the leaf anyways, would the double cab leaf give me a similar result?

    note: from what I can tell, the access and double cab leafs have the same eye-to-eye length and width, the double cab version is just a thicker pack.

    Exhaust,
    Anyone find out the answer? I bought a AAL from toy tech and it didn't specify if it was for a AC or a dc. Wondering if I may have any issues.
