To lift or not

My stock lead springs in my 2001 Tacoma finally dies. I recently put a new pair of Deavers Springs with an extra leaf to handle cargo weight. The springs ride great but they jacked the back end up about 1.75". It feels like I am cruising in a 70's dragster. In addition to the springs I just put on Bilstein 5100 all around. My question is will the springs settle down or should I lift the front to match? I know the front Bilstein struts are adjustable so I could increase it by an inch or two but would I have to replace the coil springs with some Old Man Emu springs? It doesn't have to be OME either I am not partial to brands.

 

Might go to forum suspension and get more response. I personally think that the 5100's should be at highest setting. Think about checking alignment after you finish whatever you do. GL

 

thank you. I will post this over there

 

I would just set the fronts at 1.75 to level it out a bit, the rear will soften up over time as long as you keep putting heavy stuff back there. I have even heard of people using sand bags to make it a bit easier to drive.
