    Pics? I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my 07 Sport. Haven't measured mine but can tell the front sits lower. I also have the 4 leaf TSB which probably makes it even worse. Just put some 265/75R16s on as well and had to take the mudguards off due to rubbage pullin into my drive. Hoping the 5100s adjust help with leveling and let me put the guards back on.

    That's what I did, I had pretty good rake on my Double cab short bed. I tried spacers that were 2.25 before doing much research back in 09 and was not satisfied. I dumped the spacers and I changed to the 5100's at 1.75 and got the rear TSB done, now has a very slight, almost unnoticable rake.

    Hope you like the 5100's as much as i do!

    I thought even the Baja would have some rake , guess they don't expect you to haul anything

    I got the 5100s installed at the 1.75" setting yesterday and the results are perfect. This is exactly what I was looking for.

    I forgot to take a before pic, so here's one from when it was new in October 2009:

    And here it sits today:

    Instead of being rear high by about 2.25", it's now only rear high by half an inch. Additionally, the ride feels basically the same.

    I'd have never known about these things if it weren't for this site. Thanks TW!!
