    I have a 3" spacer lift up front with the back stock but it still looks level. People with the 5100's set at 2.5 look like they are riding higher up front which is the look im going for. I was just wondering why this was? I was thinking of switching out for the adjustable billys or the kit listed below and setting it to 3"-3.5" which I hope will get me higher up front. what do you guys think.

    Sounds like maybe your stock coils are shot. Your best bet would be to to get new coils and shocks for the front. Then an aal to match the lift for the rear.

    you can use stock parts: UCA, coils, shocks.

    i would suggest removing the spacer so you dont have 7" of lift up front.

    haha will do. It says I need longer brake lines, so I need to run completely new lines from the brakes up to the master cylinder?

    yes, new lines. these should work just fine but i would call up camburg or a camburg distributor and ask how long the new lines need to be. just to be sure

    If I were to buy new shocks how much travel can I go up to with the new spindles? Example: Fox shocks 8"of travel

    I agree.

    OP, if your 3" levels out the front something is up. You should basically be 2" nose high with the 3"spacer and non-TSB springs.
