    Hello so I bought 6112 for the front of my tundra and set them at 1.9 inches so I would level my stock tundra and bilsti3! 5160 for the rear. I just bought scored a deal for some Firestone airbags off Facebook. But reading online it appears it gives a rear left too. Which I wasn’t expecting so now I wouldn’t be level. Or is that only with the cradle? I’d kept them at around 5psi until I actually need them. I have one coachbuilder shim for the driver side. Would I be able to put 2 on driver side and one on passanger to help make the rake less? I didn’t get the extended studs on shocks and I don’t have a spring compressor. What would be other recommendations to level? (I’m still stock haven’t put anything on) I would prefer to not get new UCA I think the 2.5 should be good from what I read on here

    so I guess my real question is will adding the Firestone airbags mess up my truck leveling with 1.9 lift bilstiens up front? With or without the air bag cradles

    After measuring stock as I sit right now I’m 2inches different from front both sizes I don’t have a driver side lean. I have a full tank. The battery looks smaller than it should be and I’m not in the car so maybe that’s why, so I should be level with the 1.9 lift on bilstiens. Unless the bags lift the rear on 5psi. Does anyone know if it gives lift? Where I should install one shim on each side and not have to put more than 5psi on air bags to level it. Don’t want a harsh ride.

    Thanks,
    Cesar

    Thanks! I have Tereflex Falcon sport 2.5 tow/haul setup. There was a group buy on here a while back and I jumped. Its a decent setup and I'm happy.

    When I pull the trigger on a boat I'll look into adding a leaf, shackles and bags like all of yall are doing.
