Better ride than stock with this setup?

Maxtrac 4" spindles
Bilstein 5100's front and back
AAL or new leaf pack

Suggestions are very appreciated.

Also, how much lift would this give? Would the truck sit level?

Thanks!

 

Ride would be unchanged from stock unless you preload the 5100s. (actually it would be very slightly better than stock because of the better shocks)

It would give 4 of lift, as you noted.

Whether the truck would sit level will depend on what pack you select for the rear.

 

Would you suggest a leaf pack or AAL? Which would give a better ride? Please explain preloading...

 

Preloading would be setting the billies above zero in the front.

If you want to be level I'd go with 3" rear lift, perhaps and all pro pack

 

How would you achieve a slightly higher lift in the back? For example, a stock look...

 

Here is a thread where folks posted their setups. however I think you'll find that most folks actually have a slightly nose-high setup

Yeah, I had checked that out a while back but I need to go back now that I am starting to understand the parts. This stuff can be overwhelming if you have no clue like I did. Thanks for the help!
