Thank you guys for all the advice and person opinions, that was exactly what i wanted...

because of all your advice, i decided to go with the AAL's. they just seemed like more of an upgrade than the shackles. i dont mean to ruffle any feathers... but i think the AAL's will be better in the long term, in terms of not sagging, and they also improve the payload, which is a problem for me even with it bone stock.

so once again, thank you for the help... any advice on the install?
