    Hey Guys I have a question....

    I have the billies 5100 All around with toytec springs and an AAL. Right now i am sitting even all around and the truck looks good. However i still have some leaf sagging and i have the opportunity to purchase a leaf pack (All Pro's Expo's) but they are a 4" lift.

    Is there anything i can do to bring up the front a bit so i don't have rake?

    I don't think they give you more than 3". A couple guys run them with their eibach coils around here. You should be fine.

    Yes should fit fine. Maybe trimming involved. Mine were rubbing on frame with 4.5 bs.

    I think you'll be fine. You'll have alignment issues as your a 2nd gen possibly with 3'' up front. But will have some rake im sure, but won't be drastic. Id get the leaf packs man. You'll need extended rear shocks too and for sure a new set of rear brake lines.

    good for 3'' of lift but not recommend for OEM replacemnts as they are actually longer then stock shocks so the compressed length is too long. Espcially if you are on old wore out stock leafs. If your just lookin for an OEM replacement then you need shorter 5125s. If your getting more then 3'' of lift then you need longer 5125s or 5150s

    If I would have saw your posts earlier, I would have told you I have an extra one laying around that JLee sent me since I was the 1st order, and I would have given it to you for free. So, anyone need one? Just pay shipping and it's yours.

    I got 4.25" of lift from them. I loaded my bed with 240lbs of sandbags and it dropped it to about 3.75". I like the rake though, makes it look like a truck, and you can actually put shit in the bed since it can handle the weight, unlike stock!
