    Set mine to .85" after the rear leaf TSB, which actually raised the front 1", and it's about 1" higher in the rear running light and level pulling my trailer. Everybody seems to get different results.

    I have had the rear TSB done and I had mine set at 1.75" for a few weeks. It was a little too level for my taste so I dropped it to .87" had about an inch of lift and still maintained some factory rake. Most people use the 1.75"
