    Right now I'm running 265/75/16 fierce m/t and I was wondering if I could use 5100 bilsteins to make my truck sit bulldog (higher in the front than back) or should I use a spacer lift? I'm really just looking for the bulldog look..I do the occasionally off-roading. Nothing serious because I'm only a 2wd :(

    Where I come from it's called the Levy County lean. Usually high school kids with F-150s and Chevy 1500's. Looks dumb IMO but hey, I like things that other people don't so do whatever you want OP.
