    I just lifted my truck with the toytec 3" lift and 2" rear AAL and my truck seems to be lifted lower in the rear anyone experienced the same results, any opinions on raising the rear to match the front?

    since leafs are too expensive right now, Im thinking of adding 1.5" tapered block to give my rear to match my front. Will the new rear height be to much for my billy5100 rear shocks. (toytec 2" AAL + new 1.5" tapered block)

    yes. 5100 will be too short.

    Get some 5125's in the appropriate length. Call DSM, they can help you out.

    yes a 1" shackle or 1" block would do the truck - but as mentioned i have been informed you will need longer shocks (5125)

    What size 5125s? and what is the benefit from 5100 to 5125 because you could have used 5100 with only the 2" lift you did in the rear.

    He probably got 9" 5125s. Will be better really in terms of travel.

    However other then size differences 5100/5125/5150 are all valved the same. 5150s have a resi too of course

    :spy: maaayyyyybe...


    You too tho yes?
