    I currently have the Firestone ride rites in the rear of my truck with I usually run at 12 to 15 PSI unloaded. The rear now sits higher and I want to add a 1 inch or less of lift out front. I don't what it level because I do tow and I do not want to go to bigger tires. I just want less of a rake. I have Toytec 1/4 top spacers but I have been reading how bad they are for the suspension in these trucks so I am concerned about putting them in a 30000 dollar truck that I take on long road trips. I was also considering the 5100 at the .85 but will I have to change the rear shocks as well? The airbags stiffened the rear suspension up. Thanks for the help.

    I'd go with the 5100's on .85". You won't have to change your rear shocks. Most people, including myself, put the 5100's up front and an AAL in the rear for a cheap, quality lift, but if you just don't put in the AAL in the rear, you should get what you want, a small lift in just the front.

    Yeah, for just a 1" lift...5100s at .85 is probably your only real option and it's a decent one for the money.
