    You guys can't troll the untrollable but if you really want to carry on with your bandwagoning ways you should retire to the Hockey thread

    Hmm, obviously the dakars will handle the camper better than soggy blocked factory leafs. I have never seen my truck with rake except slightly nose high now. I guess I will order the spacers and send them back if I like the stance. I am guessing it would be a mistake to have them add longer studs during pre-assembly and not use a spacer? That way I could use 1/4" or 1/2" to level.

    It's a lot easier to have the longer studs on when you assemble the coil / strut

    You should have rake from the factory

    Won't effect anything to add the longer studs and not use a spacer

    I'm gonna add top plate spacers on mine. Do you have to disassemble the coil/strut assembly to add longer studs?

    What would be good for a regular cab 4x4 looking to lift a max of 2-2.5"? What is the factory rake? Is keeping the rake and upgrading the leafs and shocks in the rear for people who are loading the bed a lot? Is leveling not proper?

    Sorry for the noob questions.

    Will my stock front bumpstops bottom out before the strut/coil (885 w/ nitro sport shocks, driver trim packer but no top plate spacers)?

    Your bumpstops wills still be effective with OME shocks. The extended/collapsed length of the shock is very close the stock shock.
