General consensus of how much lift AALs create...

My 2014 CC is awesome...I've updated the front end with some Icon VR 2.5s and they're outstanding...out back I raised the rear up a smidge with the Falcon Tow/Sport rears...they too, are way better than I imagined they'd be and ultimately, I'd love to keep them...BUT, I also run fully loaded all the time for at least 6 months a year for winter traction...600lbs+ of sand with other things potentially needed for retrievals and SHTF stuff...meaning, tow straps, fuel stuff, and other fluids, shackles, etc...that being said, my OE leaf-pack is 100% flat...they'll make some really nice swords/knives...Ha! I picked up a set of some Boise Spring Works AAL (medium duty) they also a HD kit but I want SOME comfort when not fully loaded...if possible...I'm NOT going to get a larger truck; this is it and has been amazing with everything I've thrown at it.

Since cresting 100k, I want this beast to party...I'm updating SC bits, fueling bits, and suspension bits...as I prepare to "make it party" more, I'd like to not be down too much waiting on parts...how much lift do the varying kits lift the rear end when they're naked and not broken in to settle yet? Will I be able to continue use of my Falcons or will/should I consider updating the rear struts for the coming added lift of the AAL?

I understand there are many factors and variables at play here, but for just a rough estimation of "yes or no" on needing new rear struts, what is the assumed reality of me needing new rear struts? Deep down, it feels like this is rhetoric for what I already know...what's suggested on new rear struts, then? Ha!

 

Nm, the average lift is about 2" with 90% of AAL medium duty kits... not needed right away, but I'll eventually find a longer stroke rear shock.
