    Yeah I'm not surprised, the 1.5" AAL is what people use to get fairly level with 2.5" up front.

    Yep, so I bet the OP's truck settles to 1/2" of rake or so.

    Yeah I have 3/4'' top plate spacers and the 1/4'' driver side spacer though so I should have gotten a full 3'' of lift. I guess I just didn't get as much from the setup as i thought i would. Idk I can see 2 notches above my spring perch so I'm guessing my 5100s are right. My CV angles are almost flat (I do have a 1'' diff drop) but shouldnt there still be somewhat of an angle?

    Well I just looked at my truck again and I see 3 notches on each side above the spring perch. Guess I just couldn't see that good when I looked last time and it was dark. So the guy set my 5100s at 0. Sure hope he will fix this for free!!!

    Update: Talked to the shop that did my lift and they are going to charge around $200 just to adjust my 5100s. The guy also said that I told him to set them at 0 when I know I didn't

    They are at 0.85 up front. I have 23" between hub and the wheel arch up front, which is about 3" over what I had stock.
