    Does anyone know if 5100s set at 1.75" with stock coils will look weird with the rear having a 1.5"AAL for a DCLB? I just got the fronts and dont want to pay to have them changed. I dont have the tools.

    Mine didn't stop settling for about a month.
    With 884x's (no top plate spacer) and a 2" AAL on a 4cylinder, I ended up 1" higher in the back although it looks dead level,which I don't like. I'll eventually add Dakar's and a top plate spacer up front. The top plate spacers should add a half inch up front and the Dakars should add 3/4" out back.

    I think it would be just right, but then again I like to have it just a tad higher in back.

    Any alignment issues setting the bilsteins at 2.5"? I plan on putting mine on this weekend and debating between 1.75 or 2.5 with a 1.5" block in the rear.

    You're gonna be right on the border line, one way or another....I have just OVER 2-1/2" lift and got great alignment numbers WITHOUT new UCA's. Others have not had the same luck. Seems to vary from truck to truck....
