    Only .85.
    The leaf tsb is a bit high but will settle.
    My driveway has a bit of an incline.

    Cool. I've decided that's exactly what I'll be doing.

    I had the regular LTX m/s on the '99 and thought I'd get the at's on this truck.

    I don't go off road so the LTX AT2's work well for me.
    Quiet,smooth and are said to have the best rolling resistance in it's class.
    I like 'em!:)

    Awesome,

    Per your experience I bought the 5100's too. Got the rears on over the weekend. Pretty easy, didn't have to jack or take the rear wheels off. Only hard part was compressing the shock and lining up the hole for the bottom bolt. I just man handled it and put it on, but the hole wouldn't line up. So I used some silcone lube spray and loobed it up good. Then took a screw driver and moved it around until I could slip the bolt through. Now for the fronts!

    btw, don't feel too much difference from the rears...
