    I have been looking on here and elsewhere for this but cant seem to find a answer. I have 2013 dcsb 4x4 OME 885 on 5100's set at 0 and a rear 2" aal and LR uca's and running 285/75x16 tires looks good everything is good. I see other trucks around town and notice they are an inch or so taller then me and we cant have that :) there front axles are angled slightly more then mine they do not have a front axle drop and by that I mean like a 6"4" kit would or a body lift that I could tell it looked to be at the spring and so I have a couple of questions.

    1. Would it be ok to set my shocks at the .85 setting?
    2. I will need an alignment if I do correct?
    3. Is there a point where the axles are at too much of a angle? and how to tell?
    4. Ride would get a little stiffer correct?
    5. And finally has anyone ever compressed the spring and adjusted the shock in the vehicle?

    Thanks for any advise and long live TW. ;)
