    I set the Bilsteins at "0" and put in a 1/4" spacer on the driver side to combat Taco lean. Seems to have worked out well- leveled out the truck with just a slight rake. Also installed some rear Bilstein 5100s shortly after these pics were taken. The ride is fabulous, firm but not harsh. Wish they came from the factory this way. Truck went in for alignment this morning, I'm very happy!:cool:
