    I am. Never ran the lift without it, so I can't say for sure what it did (went with the "better safe than sorry!" attitude) but still ended up with 2 blown CV boots :pout:

    I had spacers before without the diff drop and i noticed a difference when i put the coils and diff drop in. For how cheap it as, might as well do it

    I just finished my lift and went with the 5100s @ 1.75 with the stock coils in the front and got the rear leaf TSB in the rear. Pretty simple, but what I forgot about is the weight of the cap in the back... Now with the bed empty I am barely level or even a slight bit nose high. I want a little rake so I am not riding low in the rear when I have weight in the truck.

    What are the best/easiest/cheapest options? Lower the front to .85? Add a block or another leaf to the rear to go back up about 1-1.5"? Suggestions?

    Blocks are never the answer...EVER. Unless you just want to have to buy new leaf packs in a few months or a year or so.

    And you already have an AAL?

    Already have the TSB AAL, but not enough to even it out with the 5100s set @ 1.75. I guess the easy road is to lower the fronts to .85, but now that I am up there, I kind of want to stay up there. Just not sure if there is a 1" option for the back, or if the best option is to go with the ...

    TSB is Technical Service Bulletin. Meaning changes to certain parts should be considered

    If you were a 1st gen, I would suggest adding an extended shackle to the rear. Not sure if they make them for your 2nd gen, but I would think they do. They are typically available as 1", 1.5" and 2" lift sizes.
