    5100 billies in all 4 corners. New UCA’s. ToyTech progressive 3 leaf in the rear.

    Setting it on the highest 2.5 still give some rake or even? Anyone with this setup can comment or any advice before my install (not installing myself) TSS okay?

    2018 OR short.

    it's a matter of personal taste - I don't think an unloaded pickup truck looks right without some rake, but others prefer level.

    The question was meant to find out if this will still have rake. And thoughts on TSS working.

    My understanding is that the 3 leaf AAL will give about 2" unloaded extra height, so you should lift your front end 2" or less to have a rake.

    Measure each corner before you start to see what you need.

    Most people here say 1'' lift up front will get you level but that's not the case for my truck, 2'' would be closer.

    Oh and....

    Got her home. The 3 leaf progressive gave 2 inches unloaded in the back. 5100 about 1.75 in the front. Tss works and I like the rake. 265/75 16

    I have this rake with 885 coils, 5100s and a 3 leaf progressive.
    4 days after lift (1).jpg

    I would recommend either the 885 or 887 coils and 5100s set at 0 for a better ride instead of cranking the shocks up to 2.5.

    EDIT: I see you see already had the install done. As long as you're happy with the results, enjoy.

    That looks very clean. 265’s are the way to go. How does it ride compared to stock? That’s my main issue now, the stock 18 TRD DCSB rides very smooth.

    To me feels almost the same. Maybe a little less mushy. I’d dont regret it.
