    If you can find an add a leaf that will give you 2 inches with your overload removed, leaving it in will give you another half inch. Then you would only be 1/2 high in the front. The stock leaf springs are pretty floppy and weak. Avoiding a block with the softer Springs should have a smoother ride with much less vibes.
    May I ask why you're set on 5" up front? Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I'm clearing 35s after chopping my cab Mount/flatten pinch weld with billies set at 0".

    I'm not too set on 5" up front. I was just thinking the 4" from the spindles and trying to get maybe an inch from a set of billies 5100's up front. I just want it to get a little taller, I'm running 265/75's and maybe 285's when they go bad. I wish I could get some coilovers that are adjustable on the truck so I could leave them at 0 and possibly adjust them taller if I wanted without taking them back off. But if you're getting that much clearance with only the spindles, I think I might stay with only the spindles for the lift

    Yeah, adjusting the 5100s is a pain in the ass. I'm sure either way you'll be happy with the result. It's gonna ride sooooo much better than a spacer lift. I was in the same boat before the maxtracs.

    I would just do Maxtracs and Dakar leaf packs. That way if you ever put ANYTHING in the bed or Tow it won't be so saggy.

    Here it is. But that much of a lean in the back doesn't bother me too much

    I honestly cant stand the bro lean....I had it on mine when I first installed my maxtracs. But I quickly lowered my coilovers because it just looked retarded. I love where mine sits with it being pretty much level

    I've trimmed a shit load... seems to be the cab mount. But I honestly didn't wanna have to do that... also gonna go get the alignment rechecked at some point..but I'm not sure if the alignment would even effect that

    Caster can affect rubbing.
    Sway bar still on?
    Can you find a loading dock or a big ass rock? Flex it out and turn the wheel.
