    I got it done back in May, I think it settled a little but not too much. I def need to get something in the front to level it out.

    oh........thought you may have just had it done recently. my bad. yeah.....5100's should do it for ya then man. setting them on 1.75 may level the truck for you instead of setting them at 2.5. get them from downsouthmotorsports on ebay if you decide to get some.....great deal from them.

    so far mine hasn't settled at all over the last 6 months. it is just as level as it was. i wouldn't mind adding another inch in back just to be safe but its still level

    hell....if you are gonna do that, you may as well get a new set of coilovers and an aal for the rear. ride would be better than a block. of course, you'd sit a bit higher than you are now.

    Same here. I only have the rear TSB and my coilovers are about 3". Now that the rear has settled, my front is just a touch higher than the rear.

    Mileage varies with the height you get out of the TSB springs...

    I had some minor trimming up front. I thought it didn't rub.
    But I went into a dip in the sand at full left turn and it did rub on the frame.
    very slight.[​IMG]

    M Yota that is a nice rig. I hope to do the same to mine at some point. Is it necessary to lose the mud flaps to stop rubbing? Also in your info you say you have a 1.5" fab tech AAL. Did you do this instead of the TSB
