    so i have bought some bilsteins and a rear 1.5 inch aal but from what iv read haveing the bilsteins maxed out it isnt good for it so if i get a 2 inch toytech spacer on top of the bilsteins to level the truck out 2 inches is that a good idea so i dont have to max them out? and if i do max them out with the bilsteins be enough to level out my truck with the rear? would really apprecite some insite please!

    NO.. No.

    Do not do spacers.. especially if you got the 5100's. Max them bitches. They are made for that. I have mine (as well as tons of others) set at 2.5 and am VERY happy with them. Rides great. With the 1.5" in the rear, you should be right level. Not exactly sure on the 2nd gen rake numbers though.

    I am 1st gen, with 2.5" front and 2" AAL rear, with my rear canopy on, I am just a hair higher in the rear, which I wanted.

    Google search of this forum shows lots of threads and pics of that setup...
