    Hey guys,
    I plan on putting Bielstien 5100s on the front of my gen 3 tundra to get a 2.5in level. My question is what is the best option to give the rear a slight boost so that my truck doesnt sag when pulling a camper or trailer?
    In the past I have used cheaper level kits for the front and back (2.5 front & 1” in back to alleviate this problem). I did not know if I needed to do something other than a “block” in the rear. Also are the rear 5100s adjustable like the shocks for the front? Thanks for yalls help

    Welcome.
    If trying to eliminate sag from towing, I'd go with air bags or helper springs. Depends on what you're looking to put on the back end in terms of weight. I don't have personal experience, but my dad has air bags on his 2013 DC that he got when he put a camper on the bed of the truck and it helped a lot!

    He tows the enclosed trailer loaded with his VTX 1800 or Goldwing 1800 as well.

    Welcome from NC! The rear 5100s do not provide lift. There are many options however for the rear to include @Coachbuilder1 shackles with poly bushings.
