    My 5100's are on the way too... Just got the TSB a few days ago. Currently the rear is ~2" higher than the front (center hub to fender). So on paper 1.75" should level me out pretty nicely. Problem is that I dread being nose high at all, so I am going crazy between 1.75" and 0.85". Wish there was a 1.25" lol. Ehhhhhh.... what to do....

    Trust me, go with 1.75" I have done this on two Tacomas, one with the rear TSB, and then on my Sport which came with the 4-leaf pack from the factory. They both sat perfectly, with just a very slight rake to the front. If I had gone with .85 I know I would have been disappointed with the amount of rake still there.

    Thanks guys, I'm loving it, sits level but I'm debating throwing a couple 1" blocks in the back. For some reason my eye sees it as nose high. I know there is a lot of info out there about blocks being crap but are 1"ers really going to be that bad?
