    Nigh daggone cross-eyed from searching...lol...got Billys front(adj) & a set for the rear end...I had the 4 leaf TSB done a couple yrs ago, & am running 16x8 black KMC wheels, getting BFG KOs in 265/70/16 d range installed on Monday along w/ the shocks & alignment...the rear measures at approx. 37", front approx. 34.5" or so; I'm torn between having the front set at .85 or at 1.75 to level...any similar set ups on DC trucks??? Rarely have a major load in the bed, just wanted some opinions on the best front setting...thanks in advance...:)

    Stiff tires and stiff suspension when you don't have a load in the truck won't give you a nice ride. Let some air out of the tires... specially off road. Other than that, it's a truck. From the factory it rides nice, but you add leafs and stiffer shocks and load range D or E tires at full pressure, and your bed is empty... well... that's what happens.

    My truck has the rear spring TSB and billys at .85

    Figured the TSB gives you about an inch lift, so hence set billys at .85

    This way you still have the majority of travel on the front end.

    I have been very happy with this set up. Looks good, no rubbing, nice ride.
