    if i just put some 5100s in the front at 2.5 will that level out my truck? eventually i will get some for the back with aal and the spacer for the front for the full 3inch lift..........and when i buy the ones for the front do i need to get some kinda bushings or will they come with everything i need thanks .............i used the search and couldnt find the answer

    Stuff
    It comes with everything you need. It will not be level you if go 2.5 and nothing in the rear. Your nose will stick up a little bit. If you do an AAL and 2.5 it should be close.

    pretty much. with the 5100s at the 1.75" setting and a stock rear (no TSB springs) it should sit relatively dead level.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    They don't always come with the bushings and washers. Both Toytec and DSMS sell them seperately.

    I highly doubt it. You are out of warranty. I believe that falls under the 36k mile/ 3 year warranty.

    Had similar problem with '06. No aal, only 3 leaf pack. Set shocks at 1.75 and truck was dead level. The '07 i have now has AAL and 51's are at highest setting but sits a tad lower in front. Both trucks rode, ride like shit !!! :( Wish i would have left the shocks alone, and installed 3in. spacer / block kit, like my buddy just did, his truck rides a lot better than mine.
