    IF i have my bilsteins set at 0 currently, and i want to max them out at 2.5, what can i put in the rear to make the truck as level as possible. ( i currently have billies all around with front eibach coils and 1 extra leaf in the leaf packs) im new to this stuff it all came on the truck.

    Assuming that you now have a 4 leaf springs; Just ad another leaf! A 1.5" aal will likely leave you with a very small rake.

    It might help if you measured the current rake in your stance so that you might assess what difference you need to lift to. Measure hub centre to fender.

    oops, i didn't catch the eibach's, sorry. Wolfpack is indeed correct. You cant safely set your bilstein's higher than .85 with those springs.

    If you want to go higher, you might look into Spindle Lifts or bigger tires. The truck in your sig looks level already. Why go higher?

    If you set the billies at .85 you should get around 2.4" with the eibachs. If you have the TSB 4th leaf you can add a 1.5" AAL.

    I have my billies @ 2.5 on stock coils with the TSB & Toytec 1.5" AAL - Left me with about a 3/4" rake, but you can always throw on some top plate spacers to even out

    Whats the best AAL? For 1.5? Could any automotive shop tell me for sure what they are set at?

    the 5100s?

    Just take a look. The coil perch should be set in the bottom ring, you should be able to see 2 rings on the shock body above the perch.


    it should look the opposite of this...bottom ring instead of the top (only pic I have of my front 5100's)

    as far as AAL's go, there's a ton of different options. Toytec and fabtec have 2"
