    If I put the toytech 1" block kit on the rear of my truck will I also need the 5100's on the rear, or will the stock shocks be long enough?

    I put the 5100's on the front in the third clip and the front is about a 1/2" higher than the rear now. Thought I would just add an 1" to the rear now

    So the rear shocks that I have will work?

    They will work but the 5100s would allow more travel ... if you aren't going off road it shouldn't make any difference imo

    What's the extended length of the OEM rear shocks compared to the OEM replacement 5100s?

    Another option is to lower the front clip and leave the rear alone. Not only would you cure the reverse rake, you'd unload a bit of the preload on the front springs, improving ride, spring travel while reducing the risk of coil bind.

    Contrary to all the thinking around here, a little rake is actually a good thing.

    'Level' is only for looks.

    Yea I kicked that around also hate to take the damn thing back apart. Thought I would add a 1" block to the rear and get a small amount of take with a little more lift.
