    Hello all,

    I replaced my stock struts and shocks with bilstein 5100’s and placed it on the highest setting of 2.5in for a little lift. The front was more than leveled and has what seems to be about a 4in lift. I am going to AAL within the next few days as planned. I was going to AAL to keep the rear higher, but now it seems like I need It to level the rear with the front.
    My question is, will the front drop a little after it settles in, if not, is it good for the truck to be sitting on a lift like that? Should I drop the setting in the front to lower it when I AAL? I would appreciate in help here thanks.

    Is that with stock springs? If so, more than likely the perch for the spring is mounted upside down.

    Thanks for the info. The perch was upside down. I installed shocks one day and the leaf the next with different mechanics. When installing the leaf they told me about it and had it fixed.
