    How much nose high was it at first, couldn't have been much? I don't mind if it is slightly nose high I just don't want it to look like shit.

    Apparently the new "X" series OME coils don't have the sagging issues of the earlier OME coils

    OZ, seeing that you have the 885's do you think the 1.5 AAL is going to be enough to get me level in the back?

    I'm not OZ, But i think the AAL will level you out. I'm on 885x and 2.0" AAL because i don't have the TSB springs.

    I got 2.5 up front with my 885x on my dcsb and also installed 1.5 aal in the rear. I measured half an inch higher in the back but it pretty much looks level to the eye

    You'll have rake with it. This is how my truck sits without the top plate spacer... The truck is on a slanted drive way but you can tell the rear is higher
