    the bro lean, with a 3" lift, transfers some of your down travel towards your uptravel. So now your front end has 7" of uptravel, and 1" of down travel. (while stock has 4" up and down.) This helps to eliminate bottoming out of the suspension while landing after hitting a bump at speed.

    the rear can remain stock since an add-a-leaf doesn't offer much function for desert wheeling. (Ex. no increased ground clearance, 33" tires still fit without it)

    Depends on the truck, JLee's looks sick rear high, Sandman427's looks awesome level, and BMiller421's is crazy with the bro lean. Just my opinion.

    yes i do cradle my balls when im wheeling through the dez. i cradle them with a nice silk bananna hammock.

    i dont think i have ever seen a lt truck (lt front and rear) that is level, i have seen quite a few and havent seen a level one. im sure there is one out there though.

    do you crawl through the desert or go fast? i go fast and my truck is level now. ill tell you this much, the ride is much smoother with the rear end lower, lower center of gravity.

    Rust, lots of rust
    Level...or slightly nose high. This may be one of those things that just depends on the truck.
