    So I pulled the trigger and had them installed. I have a 09 dcsb with a TSB. I set the shocks to 1.75" and it looks great. There is still a slight rake though but I didn't want to go to 2.5" and have to buy UCAs. Stock hight with the TSB was 23" in the rear and 20" in the front. That's from fender to hub. I just picked it up and haven't measured it cause it's dark but I will tomorrow. If I did the 2.5" it looks like it would be perfectly level but having a slight rake is nice too. It's so much smoother than stock and no shimmy or shake. Ill do my best to get measurements and pics tomorrow. I'm also gonna shave the mud flaps 3" to make it look a little higher. All in all I'm very happy I installed them and got the alignment. Not only does it look great but so much smoother over stock. Thanks for all the advice TW!!!!
