    Hi;

    I have a new 2015 TRD Sport that I would like to level. It has about 1000km on it so far.

    The back measures 22" from fender line to hub centre, and the front measures 20 1/4" from fender line to hub centre.

    My plan is to install 5100's all around, with the fronts set at .85. My concern is that if I set the shock in the 1.75 position (third groove) that the truck might sit higher in the front, which I definitely don't want. Are the 5100's groove settings accurate? Will the lift be even discernible?

    Also, my truck has stock HD Bilsteins on it. Is it necessary to change the rear shocks? Are 5100's better than the stock HD Bilsteins that Toyota installed on the truck?

    Thanks!
