    Hi everyone,

    I have 2002 DC limited edition. The previous owner added an extra leaf on the rear but otherwise everything is stock. As it stands, the truck sits slightly higher in the back when the bed is empty.

    I think I want to have this leveled out, but at the same time I don't want the rear to sag anytime I'm carrying a load. Right now if I load up my truck it sits nice and level.

    From everything I've read, it sounds like I can upgrade the front suspension to Bilstein 5100's. I don't know if I need new springs, truck is at 130,000 miles and still rides very nicely. But as I'm getting new tires soon I wanted to have this sorted out first.

    Can anyone advise if my plan of essentially just installing Bilstein's on the front, then new (265/75/16) tires would get me to where I'd like to be?

    Thanks
