    If it's just an inch or so lower in the back then an AAL should fix it...most give anywhere from .75" to 2" of lift depending on which brand you go with.

    If you want the factory rake back (sit higher in the rear) then look at the 3 leaf AAL packs like what Headstrong sells...those give about 2.5" of lift with the overload left in.

    It's usually ideal to have the back sit slightly higher than the front to account for weight in the bed

    You can buy a 1” block. I know there’s a lot of hatred for blocks here, but if you like your ride, and just want to get a tiny bit of rake back, a 1” block would be ideal, and cheap.

    get the headstrong off-road progressive aal and remove your overload. Will look nice and ride nicer.

    Roger that thank you. I don’t like the Cali lean. Now that I’m going to throw wheels on I really want it to sit level

    I got the Wheelers 1.5" inch progressive add a leaf with the 5100s. It
    rides just a little better than the TRD Sport, stock.

    You’ll need two... they’re sold individually.

    I’ve got a brand new pair of these and center pins for them, I never installed them. If you want, I’ll sell them to you for $10 plus shipping. I’m sure they’ll fit in a small flat rate box.

    Your best option is still the progressive aal, which as stated above, comes with the ubolts. If you want those 1/2” shims, it’s cheaper, but would give you the 1/2” you’re looking for.

    Oh the stock U bolts should go 1/2" higher no sweat. Sorry to butt in. I just installed the Wheeler's 1.5" progressive aal and thought about using the stock U bolts because the Kit U bolts were really over kill I thought.

    I was actually about to pull the trigger on this setup hoping it will level the front without touching the rear. I guess I would have to purchase the AAL from headstrong. Which should approximately make the rear higher about 1inch or less.
    Do you have any pictures to show how bad the lean is?

    No I don’t. But I will shoot some over to you today. It’s nose high. It’s noticeable
