    I'm going to be needing shocks at some point so thought I'd level the truck as little...thinking 5100s at 1.9".
    I normally have a cap on and wouldn't want the front higher than the back. I suppose I could do shackles or blocks in the rear but not looking to do that yet.
    Should 1.9" be a close to level look?20181019_155556.jpg 20181105_124635.jpg

    It will be close. I added the Pro suspension to my truck and it sits almost level depending on how I’m parked. It’s about 1.9 inches in the front.

    BTW, the 5100's for the tundras have the following settings:
    • bottom - 0.87"
    • middle - 1.57"
    • top - 2.24"

    with the shell, the middle setting should make it look level.

    Thanks thought I read 1.9"s somewhere. 1.5" should be good, not looking for bigger tires, maybe 275 70s 18.
    Might go 17" rims(at some point) with bigger tire depending on tire cost...17 to 18's

    Topper, bedslide and more to come
    I suspect with the added weight of the topper you will realize a greater increase in front ride height than the corresponding lift indicated by Bilstein.

    I have an 18 with a topper and bedslide. I think that if you transfer too much weight to the rear with a front lift you will not be happy with the ride.
