    Front 5100s at 1.75. Rear TSB. LoRider tonneau cover. OEM bed mat. OEM bug deflector. Illuminated 4x4 switch. In cab AC outlets. 400W anytime. EGR in channel window visors. Black badges. Rear weathertech liners.
    Just curious, where did you get it done and how much did it run you? I'm in Saint Cloud and I thought all the prices I was quoted were pretty high. I ended up having my fronts at 1.75, allignment, and oil change for $360. Was the cheapest I was quoted.

    I'd say .85 with stock rear springs or 1.75 with TSB rear. I like a little bit of rake.

    Crockett's in Land O Lakes (north of Tampa) was my shop and always will be, those guys are amazing.

    The install with alignment was $200 and I got the Billie's at DownSouthMotorsports.com (another great place).

    If you are anywhere in the area I HIGHLY recommend Crockett's.

    Im at 2.5" with stock coils and hate the ride. To stiff. Got some 885x's to correct that though.....If your going with stock coils, go 1.75". It'd look better and the ride will be good

    Truck looks great! Thats pretty much what im going to do. Just got the 4 leaf pack on the rear of my 2011 and was going to get the Eibach coils up front with the Bilstein struts, so should be close to yours. Thanks for the updated pictures. How do you like the ride?

    Thanks - The ride is great, no difference in factory at all, just a little more level headed :cool:

    Great thread since my 5100 will be delivered today. I was curious about the stock '12 4leaf rear myself. I have been jacking mine up in the front to simulate which setting to chose...still unsure since I do plan to haul things from time to time. Your's turned out great tho!

    Thanks, that was the question I had prior... Everyone had pics of 2.5 or 0 with aftermarket springs but nothing with a stock rear setup (4pack).

    Truck looks good. Sounds like I will be going with the 1.75 as well this summer!

    OP, did you get a new front end alignment or were able to roll on the same pre-lift alignment? The Wobbles and Shakes typically associated with a lift are my only concern.... Experienced any yet? Also, did you have those TRD springs powder coated yourself or did they come factory like that.... truck and suspension are looking great IMO!

    Thanks - They were coated by a local shop. As for the alignment they said it was "slightly off" and it was included in the install price ($200). I have yet to find anything odd with the install but then again it was only 1.75" adjustment.

    Dunno but thats the reading and I am sticking to it!

    Cool thanks.... I was thinking of painting my coil springs as well but am sure as to what I should use on them.... Powder coat is a little pricy for me. Guess I gotta do some searching.

    Well shit that aint bad... I thought powder coat was more expensive than that... I'm in Maine so I will check around for a shop. Thanks!
