    I just did the exact same set up minus the spacers. To echo what's already been said, the Billie's set to 1.75" w/ the rear TSB gives you a level stance. I will add the rear Billie's when I upgrade my wheel package and set the fronts then to 2.5"...here is a pic, hope it helps.

    The rears aren't adjustable right? So if you get new ones in back and set the front to 2.5" it'll be nose high.

    if you set ur billies at 2.5" lift for the cheap mods of the rear of ur truck get ( 5 leaf springs) 3 standard lift pack, 1 TSB and 1 AALor ( add 1" block instead AAL ) on each side which make ur truck sit level .

    I just got my billies set at 1.75 installed today. No vibes...alignment drives really well....I have the rear TSB done, but the front now seems kinda higher than the rear. Will the front shocks settle similar to how the rear did after a few weeks?

    Can you post a recent pic showing a side view of your truck, so that I can get a look. I want to get the 5100's and was hoping not to have to do anything else to the rear, aside from the TSB AAL that has already been done. Thanks!

    I'm bringing this thread out of storage...
    I just got the TSB done by my dealer and am quite happy. Surprisingly, I didn't see a big difference in the ride quality other than a firmer ride, but it does sit higher in the rear. I want to get the 5100s and from what I'm reading, set them at 1.75 for level.
    Here's the question; are there any driveline issues at this height ... has anyone had to adjust the front differential?

    Same thing on mine ....front sits 1 " higher. will be putting the tsb toytec 1 1/2 " AAL and bilsteins this week. This should make it a half inch high in the rear and that will be good ! ( 4 leaf pack TSB was done in May ,added front bilsteins @ 1.75 in Sept )

    I want to get rid of the 2" spacer I have in front, and get the 5100's. I want to set them at 2.5, but it sounds like I will be nose high even if I have the TSB aal in the rear. I guess I am going to have to add a 1" block to the rear.
