    At first I was level. Then I lifted the rear about 1.5" more than the front for a rake since I add 250 to 300lb of sand bags in my box during the winter.

    I want to do billy's at 1.75 with the tsb or equivalent. This seems to be the mosy common/popular way to level and its about as high a I want to go. My question is if I cant get the dealer to approve the tsb, how much lift is everyone getting from the tsb? About 1" seems to be the common answer and most aal's I find are 1.5". I don't want the rear too high. So that leaves me down to doing a 1" block on the rear if the dealer wont approve me for the tsb.

    I maintained the rake (not quite stock due to weight of the shell), but I got 3" from the OME 885s & 3" from the Dakars.

    My tsb springs gave me 1/2". Then added 1.5" aal, and 885 coils with billies set at .85. Now my truck sets level.

    The first pic kind of looks like it's a little nose high but I understand pictures are sometimes misleading.

    I don't mind a little rake. I just don't want it to ever look nose high.

    Funny you say that because I have the "taco lean" so the passenger side sits 1/4" higher in the front so it kinda does look nose high on that side. But also note that the factory step rails tend to angle down towards the rear which to me kinda makes it have the nose high look. I looked at them before the 5100's because it drives me crazy but couldn't see any adjustment for them. I may look at them again and actually put a wrench to them and try to even them up.
