    The factory springs have different specs to account for the lean, and it's really more of a problem for aftermarket springs like the kit you linked.

    Nothing in the rear? It seems raising the front has a little impact on the rear as well.

    Just 5100's all around which only raises the front not the rear.

    I understand, but it seems like raising the front only gives a slightly larger space between the rear wheel and fender; using the rear as the pivot, it rotates up just slightly or appears to be an increase due to the fender angles.

    I don't think $600 is too bad...

    - $200 parts
    - Two to three hours labor (charged) to install, $100/hr
    - Alignment, about $75
    - Tax

    Looks good.

    I've had 5100s on my 04 for years and loved them, I might have to get a set for the new truck too.

    I'd hunt around, likely can find much better pricing for labor/alignment. I just had 4 struts and strut mounts replaced in coil-over-strut setup (Camry) and 4 wheel alignment, all for $250. Dealership wanted around $600 for the same work. That's without parts. I think the struts were around $350'ish, then the mounts, maybe $500 total for parts after shipping (I'd have to go back and check ... but that's from memory).

    would a 1" block in the rear and fronts at .85 have too much rake? More than factory rake? I would like to have some rake for hauling and towing.

    Mine ate set at 1.75 front with a 1-inch block and I have 1/4-inch of rake. So id say set at .85-inches it would be a little much but not terrible.
