    Bilsteins 5100's front and back. Wheelers add a leaf
    i already have eibach toytec springs which claim 3" of lift. my plan was to get dakar leaf springs to replace my frowning stock springs but they are back ordered till who knows when. i figured spend a few extra bucks and get the wheelers 5 leaf (1.5" lift claimed) replacements. im wondering if anyone can tell me if my truck will be: level, nose high or raked???? tried asking the guy from wheelers but he seemed anoyed that i was asking about the dakar springs. maybe he gets those types of calls all day. anyway, if anyone knows id appreciate the info.

    My stock springs are done. Been running an add a leaf for approx 2 years which has made the pack look even worse. And the ride is not good

    Yikes. Yeah that's about where my springs are. How much were the omd's? How long does it take to get them?

    just the 5 packs alone will be nose high. I added 1'' lift shackles and the Wheelers AAL and i had a bit of rake. about 1''. ons of photos in my build.

    the wheelers 5 packs flex super good too

    Just ordered the stardard all pro springs this morning. I hope they will match up well with the eibachs I've been holding onto for while now. Was hoping for some omd's but my lack of patients always get the better of me.
