My new set up for next year's competitions will weigh in at about 875-900 pounds. I feel this will max out my old suspension and make it sag a good amount. If I get some AAL will this hold that weight up in stock place? What else would it take? 1-2" lift kit in the rear as well?

What is the weight limit in the 97 Limited V8 AWD?

Your best bet is to get the leaf spring pack rebuilt.. A AAL is not gonna help that much especially when you have that much weight in the rear.
 






I have seen quick removal springs that mount between your axle and frame to increase your cargo weight by 1,000 lbs. They are fairly cheap @ $30 a set. I would make sure to remove them when not carrying extra weight as they will make your rear-end very stiff in normal driving situations.
 












get some add a leafs , but when your looking at them there is 20" ones and 34" ones get the longer ones and you should be good to go
