    Hello tw,
    I am about to put a 2.5" coil over in the front, but dont really want to add anything to the back because i dont want too bumpy of a ride. Any ideas it this will work, or what it will look like?

    I dont know about a 2nd gen but my truck with a 2.5 in the front sat a little bit higher than the back. Barley able to see the difference. I just did the aal for strength when I have my quad in the back

    yea you'll have a bit of a lean especially if you load up the bed but unloaded it will look good

    go with just the coilovers... the front with be just slightly higher and an aal will make it a bit stiffer..... the "lean" looks good in my opinion...

    I see you live in SoCal so you should be ok. They call it the 'SoCal Slant' when the nose is higher than the rear, baja style.

    I think it looks like a 1/2 finished truck but it seems to be hip with the kids so go for it.

    Thanks all for your comments. I really dont like the 909er look ( thats what i call the baja style stance). Right now the truck seems to be leaning forward just a bit, but this is normal. Im wondering how big of a backward lean i can expect? Is it going to be hardly noticeable, or will it by a huge difference? I dont wanna do the aal because i dont want a stiff ride, the truck is already really stiff cuz of the tires. Anything else i can do to the rear?

    it wont be a big noticeable difference but if you wanted to you could add a small block in the rear to keep it level like either 1/2" or 1"... it wont change the ride
