    New to the truck and Taco world. I have an 07 off road AC that is on stock suspention plus helper springs in the rear from the previous owner.

    The truck is currently sitting at 20.5' center of hub to fender up front and 22.5 in the rear.

    I want to level the front, have a little more clearance, not have to worry too much about stressing CV's, control arms, alignment, etc. But still want a slight lift that is practical. Mostly highway driving and plan to do some trails.

    I have a used front pair of 5100's I was going to set at 1.75 up front to level it out. I thought of doing +2.5 up front and 1.5-2'' AAl in the rear but not sure if it would benifit/look rite. with stock size tires.

    Any advise/ thoughts, stick with +1.75 front and go from there?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    I have a 3" lift with slightly larger than stock tires. I think it looks fine if you have off road tires. With street tires it looks a little weak, in my opinion.
