Leveling with a Demello Bumper

I have a stock 2011 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4. I'll be installing a large steel front bumper from Demello Off-road, I'd like to Level out the front of my truck (and bumper) with the back, for a slightly more aggressive look. I know that many set their Bilstein's to .85" for a simple leveling, but would a couple Bilstein 5100's set to 1.75" make up for the weight and level it out? I don't want to look like I'm dragging a**

 

Set at 1.75 should get you pretty close with that bumper. It will stiffen the ride but the weight of the bumper will help with that. Worst case Wheelers off-road has 1/2 inch rear leaf shims that can be used to lift the rear 1/2 inch lift.

 

Well considering 1.75 will level the truck without the bumper...putting them at 1.75 with the bumper will put you at stock height, maybe a hair higher.
