- I decided to remove the 4" lift blocks and replace it with 1.5" add a leaf and 2" adjustable shackles to gain more articulation for off roading.
Note Torque Spec for the u-bolts is 90 ft/lb

Thank you very much, I appreciate your video, you are the only one that completely showed how to install the Alldogs AAL Lift Kit I don't want to take so long THANK YOU
I’m glad the video helps
Wow! I ran into so many complications because I took off the whole leaf spring and didn't know that I could of just done this. Thank you for posting this video and definitely just subbed!!!
Yeah, hopefully the video will help other frontier owners with their install. Subbed back, thanks!!
The first one I totally removed from my frontier. then I saw your video and did the 2nd one the same way and overall, it was easier. Thanks
I’m glad, it worked out for you. Thanks for watching!
Nice install and good looking frontier man👍
Thanks
Awesome video! Truck looks great
Oh wow, I got a comment from the man himself. Thanks 🤩

I’m glad I went with the 3 leaf springs. It gave the truck a much better ride.
Nice job! I looked like the blocks were tapered/angled to lift the pinion a few degrees. How did do compensate for the pinion angle with the AAL? Does the truck vibrate any after the AAL?
Thanks! Yes the blocks were tapered. The 2 inch shackles were enough to point the pinion within the acceptable angle. I have no vibration at any speed.
How is the ride quality with the aal vs the block? Im currently running a 3" block but want to swap over to a 2.5" aal with the overload on. Im hoping with the overload left on, itll be around the same lift as the 3" block. I love your truck! Got me thinking about going full 6" haha
On the street, not much of a difference with the ride quality. But on the trail with the bed loaded with camping gears, there’s a big difference. There’s less bouncing around and drive much more smoother. That set up should get you the 3” of lift. Thanks and good luck on your next mod!
nice work..
Thanks!
I see you said you left the overload leaf on. ADO recommends removing it but said it wouldn’t really hurt anything to leave it on other than make ride stiffer and affect articulation when off-roading. I feel like my rake is slightly too high in the back. Do you think I should take it off? What’s advantages of leaving it on vs taking it off. Idk if I should just leave it on or what.
I don’t think the overload springs makes the ride stiffer. They’re there in case you put too much load on the bed. I carry a roof top tent and a bunch of camping gears, that’s the reason I kept them.
If you do a lot of hard off-road trails or go fast on the washboards, then you might want to take them off. How much rake do you have?
Not sure on measurements but it looks slightly worse than stock rake. I’m prob gonna go ahead and remove them. I don’t do much heavy lifting/towing. 99% of mine will be putting stuff in the bed. Some equipment. Load of mulch etc and that’ll be here and there.
Nice job, you remove your sway bar by chance? If so how does it handle? Thanks, currently have a spacer lift and shackle but planning upgrading to Billy's 5100 and add a leaf with a 1" body lift to my 2014 Frontier SV 4x4
No I don’t have the sway bar anymore. It’s less jarring on the trail without it. Just be cautious on the highway and get yourself familiar with the little lean increase on the turns.
If you upgrade the coil springs, those will also stiffen up your front end and reduce body roll.
@@xbenture Thanks bro, you in So. Cal by chance? Looking for someone to install a suspension lift that has first hand knowledge of Frontiers.
@@dinapalmerin3386 I am in SoCal, but I’m not a pro by any means and I work pretty slow..Lol
Message me at my ig @trailfrontier we’ll see what we can do.
@@xbenture Thanks bro, it'll be from my wife's IG. I don't have one. I'm Chris by the way and I live in OC.
Hey man! When you took apart the add a leaf was it difficult to do so? I want to use the factory overload spring like you did as well.
How does the back end ride with the add a leaf with factory overload spring?
It’s not difficult at all. Just make sure you have the right tools.
The back ends rides like stock, maybe just a tad stiffer. I can’t even tell the difference now that I’m so use to it. Good luck
Do you leave the overload spring unattached from the rest of the pack?
@@zachblunk yes, they’re only held by being sandwiched between the axle plate and the aal.
@@xbenture Thanks, after asking I started noticing that's how it ended up on a few other set ups. Thanks also for this video, it helps put a visual to the install instructions, much appreciated.
@@zachblunk Sorry for the late reply. For some reason, I didn’t get the notification from TH-cam. I’m glad this video is helping others, thanks for watching!
did you not put the safety Jack's under the truck?
Yes he did. You can see them on both sides at 10:20
Nice job but the shackles are upside down. The adjustment holes should be on the bottom .
Thanks, but that won’t work. The shackles are wider on the top to fit the frame and narrower at the lower end to fit the leaf springs.
@@xbenture I see what your saying now . You would think the adjustment would be at the bottom for easier access .
What lift setup do you have in the front?
Fabtech drop bracket
I have the same fabtec 6" lift and getting ready to do the same with the back AAL and shackles. How's the ride any better? I have bad axle wrap is why I wanna do it. Also are you running factory coil overs in the front?
What are you running for lift in the front?
Fabtech 6” drop bracket lift
@@xbenture what shocks are you running in the back
@@diegosoto9056 just the fabtech shocks
