    Hello everyone, hope all is well. I have a 2020 Tundra TRD Sport 4x4 crewmax. I wanted to do a Bilstein 5100 strut level, I know the top setting is 2.28". My rear fender measures 39.50 and the front measures 37.25". Will the top setting level my truck or am I going to need a rear lift shackle to level it out?
    Thank you guys!

    Most people put it on the middle setting to level it out. With your measurements the top setting would get level.

    Top setting leveled mine perfectly.

    The trdpro has a 2 inch front lift and sits level. The tundra has less factory rake than a chevy
