    This is my question as well. I have the 4 leaf TSB spring pack in the back everything else is stock. I am considering the 5100s set @ .85 for the front. I think this will sit about level and still let me pull a trailer or carry loads without making the front point at the sky. If I get this done I will post some pics, or if you beat me to it I would like some!

    yes.

    settled about 1/4" the 1st few days.

    was a 1-3/4"...now, after several weeks and some hauling and towing...now a solid 1-1/2".

    maybe it will settle another 1/4" or 1/2" over time, or under load...

    I'd still avoid a drag ass look with a .85 or 1" lift on the front end...


    Unless someone can educate me on a simplier...easier...better...cost effective way...It looks like the 5100's set at .85 is the ticket.

    I'd just change springs and keep the stock shocks if I knew of one that would provide the small lift I'm looking for...without destroying the ride.

    Also...I'm still left with the "Taco Lean" shim question?

    I think 5100 set @ .85 w/ stock coil and 1/4" spacer on driverside and you will be good but i think 1.75 is a little more level .85 and you will still have a little rake

    I had my 4 leaf TSB done in May and my front bilsteins installed the other day @1.75 . My tail now sits 1 inch low ! Should have maybe set them @ .85 ? Now I'm thinking about getting a one inch block for the rear. Does anyone think this will cause any problems ? Thanks Do not have the "Taco lean " .
    Or maybe the Toytec 1 1/2 add a leaf for tsb spring pack? Just dont want to go crazy and end up with vibrations and crap.

    Another alternative would be the which claim about 3/4" lift. I got somewhere between 3/4 and 1". I didn't measure ahead of time so I don't know the exact lift ended up being.

    I also was going for about 1" lift to offset the TSB springs.

    What about this type of lift? It's just like ReadyLift's products, only a lot less expensive. However, it might be a little too much if you're looking for only an inch or so of height.
