    This is my truck at 1.75 WITH the rear leaf TSB. It sat .5 inches higher in the back. The truck drives great with this set-up.

    That looks BA!. If I set mine at 2.5 does it wear anything out faster?

    1.75" will give you a completely level look especially without the tsb id say you might be nose high a little but dont hold me to that.

    .85 will give you a little lift up front, slight to minimal rake. i vote .85 too!

    do you have a tsb leaf pack or non tsb leaf pack?

    yeah, too bad on that one. Did you not hear about it till to late?

    with mine being a 50 mile daily driver 7 days a week, I look to put the 5100's on next year when I get her paid for. I've looked at tons of pictures and stories when I joined TW and fully decided I wanted to set them at .85. But hey, to each there own.:D

    why are you not going to lift it more? just don't like the look or because its a daily driver and all?
