    So…is this the 4th attempt at something with rear suspension?

    Looks like the rake has gone away and truck is level.

    How are you liking the ride?

    Just the second attempt lol. At first I put it on lowest/stock setting. It had significant rake and I wasn’t able to fit 285s without rubbing. I put it to 4th and it was relatively level. The ride is not as smooth as stock of course but not too stiff either. It’s my daily driver and my wife doesn’t complain so I think it’s good for now lol.

    I think you are talking about the front shocks and 4th level is the top ring on the Bilstein 5100s…yes?

    As for the rear Leafs…you put 2” blocks back there?

    That sounds like they are level.

    My truck has the TRD Lift which is the 2” in front (4th level) and 1” blocks in the rear.

    This still gives a rake…albeit not as visually prominent.

    You’ve got a Longbed which gives it a longer rake (if it is present) so it’s not too noticeable.

    Yes, correct. Front shocks, 4th level. Rear shocks with 2 inch block.

    Wanted to put on this forum because before I did this I came here and not much feedback from 4th level notch with Bilsteins.
