    I was going to go higher, but after a lot of thought it was more important to me to have a soft ride for now then drop 450 for UCAs. I think it came out well and at some point I might change it around to the 5100s at 0" and lift springs with new UCAs.

    ^^ Yeah, your camper top weighs your AAL's down more than one w/o a camper top. Sits nice and level looking like that.

    Do you mind telling us what you sprayed your wheel wells and the frame with? Was it an easy mod? Looks great, really adds to the look.

    PM if you'd rather.

    I had a guy detail my truck last week and he did the wheel wells and frame too. Not sure what he used but it looks so clean I love it. got flamed for paying $400 but it was the best $400 I've spent on the truck.

    Yeah, it really looks good. Wish I knew what/how he did the frame, it looks smooth as a baby's butt. That's how they should come from the factory IMHO.

    Usually after a new model year is released it takes awhile for them to update the TSB.

    I would go with the 2.5" setting. You can take a look at the pic of my truck. That is the setting I have on mine, also running 285/70's with 17" wheels.
