    Hello all,

    Currently my Taco is factory minus removing the emblems, painting them black, and reattaching them. I am adding some Bilstein 5100's to the front and wanting to get some 285/70/17 Falken Wild Peak A/T3W tires. I have a few questions I'd like to get some input on.
    1. What setting should I put the 5100's at? (0-2.75)
    2. If at the highest setting, what should I do to the rear to level it back out? (Or will I even need to do anything to the rear?)
    3. With those tires, will I need to do any trimming? (I am hoping to not have to do any trimming if at all possible)

    I can only answer 1 and 2. On our '07 (see sig) we did the 5100's at 2.75" and used 1.5" rear blocks. Perfectly level and no issues with alignment, etc. It's my boy's truck and he had a limited budget, but it looks and handles just fine for a college kid.
