Rake Correction

Hello all, I recently installed Bilstein 5100's with 887 coils (on the lowest notch) along with heavy duty Dakar leaf packs. Front and rear bumpers are stock. I made the mistake of ordering the heavy duty leaf packs without taking into consideration that I'm not really hauling or towing anything. Now I'm sitting at 23&1/4" up front and 26" in the rear. I would like to bring the front up a little but may need to go back to stock leafs to level things out. Any input on moving the 887's up a notch or two or just leveling things out in general is greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the forum.
You probably don't want to hear this, but you will be much better off if you leave (or lower) the front and lower the back. You can remove the 3rd leaf from the top to make it a medium leaf pack.
You didn't say whether you have aftermarket upper control arms or not, but you are pushing it with that much lift on stock UCA's, and your CV's are probably maxed out on angle. I'm only mentioning it so you can prepare for repairs down the road.
OME and Bilstein officially say no to going past the lowest circlip setting on 5100's, but you could get away with the second notch. I did it with 885's before I came to my senses. It won't ride as good.
Also, if you add weight to the bed (sandbags, etc) you will compress those Dakars down a little in the rear and greatly improve the ride quality.

 

I appreciate it! Thanks for the help.
