    With the Free Shipping offer and Ontario's lovely 13% Harmonized Sales Tax it will run me $495 for the Bilsteins front and back. A little more expensive than the US sites, but no worries about Duty...

    front bilsteins 2.5" lift, rear aal 2.5" lift, flowmaster 40 series muffler, kenwood headunit, ultraguage, allpro bolton sliders
    i had 5100's set at 1.75" (3rd notch) and rear 1.5aal's. the truck still sat nose down, i just set the front to the top notch, and its level, if anything slightly nose high, but i love the look, also i ordered a diff drop kit for 24$ from wheelers offroad.com. definately the 5100's are the way to go, have them now on my 07 dclb, and i had them on my 02 tundra, ride amazing, and provide that awesome lift! (also theyre cheap as hell). i havent replaced my rear shocks yet, might someday..

    If you have the lean ask around to see if anyone has an extra spacer to throw on while youre doing everything.

    That's assuming you want the front to be level.

    What is this spacer? I'm assuming I'll need it when I do the 5100s all around and 1" blocks in the rear. My 2013 has a noticeable lean to the driver side.

    Wait! Before you put that spacer on I have to ask the question, are you planning on wheeling the beast around at all?

    I have trouble noticing the stock rake on the truck at nearly 2"... would 1/2" - 3/4" rake in the front be that noticeable ?


    Would the front shocks settle / drop over time with wear ?
