    i would go with the leafes. it levels payloads better than blocks.

    if you only want an inch and are not to concerned about adding payload then go blocks if you want extra pay load go with the AAL

    i really dont pull anything other than a 6x12 enclosed trailer full of duck and goose decoys or the 18 foot john boat we take on the river. i cant decide if an inch will do it or maybe i need to go with 2. i dont want to defeat the purpose of the leveling kit basically.
