Lowering Bilstein 5100

So right now on my 4.0L taco, the Bilstein 5100s are raised all the way (~2.5 in.) and I have a 1inch rear block. For one, I don't think the block lifted the truck ! full inch, could be wrong, but anyway, the front is higher than the rear by at least 1/4 inch, which is pretty visible. And of course, things get worse when I put anything in the bed, or tow something. My question is, should I lower the lift to ~1.75 or ~.85? .85 would be easier on the 4 wheel drive stuff, wouldn't it? But I don't want rake to be too much and look silly. Thanks for your help!

 

The rear block does lift the rear 1”, it is literally 1” tall. Your leafs could have sagged so it may be less than an inch now though.

You can lower the 5100s, but the 0.85 inch perch is roughly aimed at leveling a stock truck. If you lifted the rear, then you should keep the front higher, so the 1.75” perch sounds like it’ll work for you.
