Would this setup be level?

    First post so hello everyone, admins if have to move this it's fine, new to forum world.

    anyway. i have a 12 taco tx pro. recently had a leaf spring bust so i replaced them with general spring HD packs. rest of suspension is stock. i also purchased this:

    https://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/toyo...ht-adjustable-5100-front-and-rear-5100-shock/

    according to the guys at general the leaf pack will settle around 1.5" of lift if not mistaken. this is my question; I'm using stock springs to put on the 5100s and going to set them at the top setting (2.5"). would that set it at about level? will the front be a bunch higher? will the back be higher? what would overall lift be? about 2"? 2.5"?

    if anyone has knowledge i would love input. i know i could have put on hibachis springs and all diff other things i just was wondering about what my setup with what i said would be. maybe later on upgrade springs etc.

    i searched here and read all diff things but didn't find specific info about this setup.
    thanks in advance and can't wait to hear input.

    Hi take measurements from ground to fender front and rear the difference of these two measurements is what you have to work with, you can then decide which notch on the 5100's to use wether you want the truck level or slightly higher in the back. If the leaves settle you will have allow for that depending upon what the desired end result is, if you have not installed the leaves yet record the difference before and after on the good side of the truck (with out the broken leaf) so you can allow for the setteling of the leaves just remember all measurements lift and setteling claims are approximate.
