    Your truck just like mine already should have the 3+1 overload leaf pack. So you should be able to set it 1.75 like I did to level it

    Some say .85 is best because 1.75 is slightly nose high.

    Yes, you should have the TSB leafs. To double-check, count them. Do you have 3 or 4?

    IMO if you have the 4 leaf pack, then the Billys need to be set at 1.75 to be level. The 0.85 will put you slightly nose down still and not be much of a noticeable difference. I have the same setup and went with the 1.75 setting and I'm very glad I did....perfectly level!
