Billstein 5100's settle? & Level question

Your leaf pack will be levelish at .85, on a V6 truck.

Been in your shoes before with my truck. I suggest not changing your 5100 settings and instead getting an AAL or block for the rear and bring it up.

Reason being, I got 1.5" of lift at the .85 setting with my 4 cylinder DCSB. I had the same 3 leaf rear pack you have, and I was nose high at .85. I added a 2" lift in the rear and then bumped my 5100s to 1.75 setting and I only gained 1/4 inch up front.

The front end will respond with less certainty than the rear will, so I would leave the front as is and set the rear to whatever height increase you want for the end goal. Much simpler to do, given the 4 cylinder wild card.

Your springs won't settle more than they are now.

 

good advice! yeah I like the front where it is.. I just ordered the toytec 1/2 shim so we will see where that gets us! hope its enough to soothe my OCD lolll

 

How did this work out for you? I put 5100s on @1.65 clip setting with the stock springs. Ended up getting 1.75. Was thinking it would settle .5 but I guess everyone saying that changed the springs as well. Been a few weeks. It looks OK but a half inch in the back might be a little better. I could also go down to the 1.1” clip setting but kinda like the height.
Did you notice any difference in the ride when putting in the shim in the rear?
