    Ok, I am thinking about a small lift. I have the Bilstein 5100 front and 5150 in the back with the Eibach springs and the truck is level. I was thinking adjusting the front Bilsteins to .85 and doing an Icon AAL (1.5")without over load and run the cradle with the air bags. I am thinking the back will be slightly maybe half in higher. Do you guys see any issues or just your general thought about this set up.

    I have the 5100 set at .85 and the rear TSB done ( add the 4th leaf ).

    This set up raised my truck about an inch. Have had no problems

    would you need the air bags?

    I like the air bags. I use them when I tow and haul stuff. I have even leveled the truck with them when we are camping in the back.

    OP , you have Eibach coils up front and are going to set your 5100's at .85 , giving you almost 2 1/2" lift , correct ?

    Yes 2 1/2 (the math says 2.6) set at .85. It is 1.75 not at .85.

    What I am figuring is the back will be .65 higher without the overload. What do you guys think of the ride quality without the overload. I will keep the airbags for heavy loads.
