    Add a leaf. Its like a helper spring. I'm not crazy about them, i'd rather have a whole new bigger leaf pack when i actually lift.

    I have slight rear vibes at take off, so I'm thinking I'll put some washers to space out the cb and then maybe get some 2 degree shims? What do y'all think?

    More and more i think about it, i might as well just save money and go with the 4600s.

    I don't want to crank up the 5100s and then need tires when the tires that i have are literally brand new. :rolleyes:

    Hmm. So leave them down and have the option later? Do what you want, but the Bilstein 5100's are an upgrade from the stock and TRD's. If you buy them new they are comparable cost. No lift? Leave them at 0 for now.

    How much would u save going with the 4600? The 5100 are about 50% larger in diameter and ride 2x as good as the 4600 and u can pit the 5100 on 0" or .85" to level out and tires wont be needeed. Im at 1.75" up front with 265/75/16.[​IMG]

    The 4600s are like $30 a piece for the rears (haven't looked up the fronts) where the 5100s are more than double that. And with the money i'd save by going with the 4600s, i could put that into buying TSB leafs(3/1) since my bone stock (2/1) leafs are sagging because of my cap/campershell.

    I'm still totally undecided.

    I also don't know how much it would cost to have someone take the front 5100s and assemble them to stock coils set at whatever would ONLY level the truck.

    I only want to level the FRONT. I do not want to lift yet, as i am still commuting in the truck.

    Also, Thank you for your help :)

    FYI, the tsb leafs sag too. They all suck, have to go aftermarket
