    Sounds right to me. When I measured my stock 2013 TRD sport DCSB 4x4 I got 20.5" front and 22.5" rear. I have the factory 4 leaf rear on mine. So 22.5" front on mine would be perfectly level. I am also planning on doing the 5100's set at 1.75 for my front end level.

    ok i think this is making sense. right now its 22 1/2 inches on driver side with 1/4 top plate spacer. 22 1/4 on passenger side. billies set at 1.75 on stock coils. started out at 20 1/2 inches. this is correct right?

    Interesting comments

    My 885x's settled a grand total of 1/8" in a year and half

    Measured just before and just after install , plus monthly afterwards

    so im getting the feeling that youthink if i put the 885x back on you think they wont settle down like my truck just did after i put the billies and stock coils on at 1.75? i mean when i was getting the 4in, i didnt realized i needed to drive it a bit, that was right after i lowered it off jack stands. or do you think thats still way too much even for just bringing it off stands?

    You might be just fine , I'm just suprised everybody else's experience would suggest there is a lot of settling after installing the 885's which just wasn't my experience
