    yes.

    they have adjustable 5100s for the front that can be used to lift the front of your vehicle and make it level with the back, and regular 5100s to replace the rear shocks for a better ride.

    take a peek around downsouthmotorsports.com

    they have a great price on billies and great customer service.

    if you want to lift the back a tad as well (to keep some factory rake) then you can get an add a leaf.


    edit.
    damn i was beat to it.

    in front yes the 5100 will bump you up a couple inches, you can use them in the rear but they wont give you any lift. You are going to need an AAL (Add A Leaf) kit which isnt expensive either.

    set billies at 1.75 and you should be farily level with stock back. you can go to 265/75-16 on a stock suspension. 265/70-16 is stock size

    Yes the truck can be leveled to the sock rear height... not 100% sure on the setting. The front may ride a little stiffer due to the preload on the coils, yet it will ride better than say spacers or a procomp 3" lift such as I have.

    You should be able to run the 265/75/16 tires on your stock suspension so there will be no problem with the truck leveled.

    Could I put the shocks on myself then align or do you guys recommend getting it all done. Also bought a warranty with the truck and this stuff will probably void it but I can't stand how cool all of the tacos are in here

    Yes you can put the shocks on yourself, most do. Then get an alignment. Your warranty should be fine.
