    So I'm looking on toytec's website and I'm wanting to know what you guys think about this. I want to do 2.5 inches in the front with bilstein 5100s and 1 inch in the rear with bilsteins and an adjustable shackle. What are your thoughts?

    It won't squat as much as you are thinking. It would almost look level with a slight reverse rake.

    It will be for looks, and I've seen a few people run that setup as well without issues but on second gens, not a first gen. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't though.

    If you actually use your truck bed for heavy stuff your truck is going to look like it's trying to take a dump.

    Otherwise do what you like. But aim your headlights properly after you lift.

    I've lived in NC for 33 years and I don't think I've ever seen one in person. Maybe it's just a flatland thing?

    Haha.

    Same thing as when I see a dually on huge rims and rubberband tires. Things have to ride rough as shit. And can't haul a damn thing.

    OP probably has squatted his truck by now but 2.5" in the front will barely make it sit nose high. Do 3"

    I've never heard of squatting a truck but looked it up. Looks like something broke.

    Idk how it went to South Carolina being associated with a squat. I have always hear of the Cali Lean. The prerunner look associated with 2wd trucks from SoCal.

    P.S. I mean real prerunner not the package. lol
