Newbie here need some advice...

just picked up my truck last week. It is totally stock/base model and is going into the shop this Friday. I am having them install Bilsteins 5100's all around, wheelers 1.5 AAL and Cooper 265/75/16 A/T3. Right now the rear end is 1.25" higher than the front. So I'm thinking setting the Bilsteins at 2.5 and with the 1.5 aal the rear of the truck should only be 1/4" higher. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm not so much worried about the stiff ride, I just want it to be mostly level.

 

You should invest in some lift spindles. Drop your 5100s down to their lowest setting in the front, put the spindles on and get a nice lift with the lowest (softest) setting. You won't feel potholes, curbs, etc. Look at Maxtrac lift spindles and it will be level. That's my next investment. I just put 5100s on the front and 5160s in the rear. My Toytec AALs should be here later this week and I'm going to get 4" Maxtrac lift spindles soon for the front.

Oops didn't even realize it...

 

You might be close to level at .85, better ride. 2.7 or 4.0 , makes a differance.

 

Just got it back an hour ago. Bilsteins 5100 front and rear, set at 1.75 in the front, non TSB leafs in the rear (it's going in next week for the recall) The back is 1/2" higher than the front. The drive way is slanted downward a bit. 265-75-16 tires. It rides great!
