Leveling with 5100's

At the moment by budget is fairly tight, but I was looking at using 5100's for leveling the truck from stock. It says adjustable from stock to 2.5". What "setting" would I use just to get it level?

 

If your stock with a 3 leaf in the back 0.85...if your stock in the back with a 4 leaf pack 1.75

 

Best way is to measure your truck's height, front & rear. .85 will get it "close" to level, and 1.75 will get it either "dead level" or slightly higher up-front. I'm going to go with .85, and leave a slight rake....

 

Thanks for the info. I will be going with .85 then as I don't have the TSB leaf.

 

I have the TSB and went with the 1.75 and I was 3/4 high in the front on a DCLB

 

Is the 3/4" noticeable or did you just see it by measuring ?

 

You could really see it and feel it while driving. Everyone was blinking there lights at me. I added a 1 " block and it's perfect. I don't go off roading.

 

I bought my truck here in Ontario, so it already had the 4 leafs. I just had 5100's installed since my stock shocks were getting tired with 220,000 kms on them.

The fronts were set at .85, used my stock springs, and the front drivers side sits at 21", and the rear driver side sits at 22". The rear looks slightly higher, and I like it.

 

what did you pay for your 1" block and the install?

 

this is what i have but i have them on the 0" setting. i also bought some OME lifting springs. 883's if i remember correctly.

my truck is almost level. the front is 1 1/2" lower which is where i wanted it to be.

the lifting springs raised the front up about 1 1/2". when it was stock the front was 3" lower than the rear which was too much rake for me.
