    thanks guys, good to know that I should set mine to 1.75".
    think I can get the 5100's installed, THEN have the rear spring TSB done and get the alignment done for free?

    basically, i'd be driving with the front up in the air a bit until the TSB is done.

    Rear Leaf spring TSB, Bilstein 5100's all around w/ front set at 1.75", 265/75R/16 Mickey Thompson Baja STZ's, Trailer hitch w/custom wiring, AFE drop in dry filter, Rear Diff breather mod, Debadged truck, customized stock TRD wheel center caps, added factory fog lights, bed mat, door sills, tinted windows
    The job requires an alingment with this TSB, so it shouldn't be an issue. I just did not want to open that can of worms... what if the dealer argues your rough ride is a result of your suspension modifications and decide not to do the TSB?

    5100 set to max, pending LSD and TRD CAI
    Get the life time alignment from Firestone and get it alighed every few months.
