A comparison shot if you have a 4' ladder

The shadow kind of sucks but its to cold to take more. Hope this helps some people with a lift decision.

This is actually the 2" aal from toytec. I set the 5100's to 2.5" the back end still sits up higher then the front.

i have the same set up, 5100s set at 2.5 but i have 1.5 AAL and its almost perfectly level. why did u get spacers? were ur tires close from rubbing on the uca? im thinking about getting wheel spacers cus they rub when im at full lock and im scared when i go offroading they r gunna rub like crazy.

That was a good idea putting the ladder for comparison. I was wondering when someone would do that.

How dose it ride with the front set at 2.5" with the stock springs? I thought I read some where on here that setting them at 2.5'' causes to much preload on the stock springs? I have know idea just trying to research this because I would like to do this mod once I get my truck.
looks great!!!!
