    Done a bunch of reading, and I must be derpy, because Im really lost.

    Looking to lift the truck relativley soon, basically the same time that I need tires. Looking at 32s on 18in wheels to fit with minimal trimming. I dont plan on doing any real heavy offroading, small amounts of crawling, trails, some mud. I hunt and fish well off the path, and plan on hitting some trails once all this is said and done, but nothing that is going to require long travel, or a ton og ground clearance

    Looking at the Bilstein 5100 kit with the AAL from Toytech. The price is right if I can keep it under $1000 for the lift.

    my question is, Im planning on only doing the 1.5in lift in the front, but the AAL says its a 2in.

    will this give me the front end rake that Im trying to avoid? what will I need to do to make the AAL work, and level the truck? or should I just get the 1.5 block and run factory recall springs (3+1s)?

    basically I want 1.5in, but if the ride quality will be shit compared to just doing the 2.5-3in then Id rather have the comfortable..er.. ride.

    If I can run the Fronts on the 2nd clip and acheive 2.5 up front and 2in in the rear with the AAL thatd be ok I guess, Im just not looking to go up to 3in. Plan on doing the Diff drop and the Front diff DS bushing while im in there to basically nip that vibration problem in the bud before it begins.

    HALP. I need someone to dumb this down for me.
