Anyone ever bring their truck back down in the front? I have Bilstein on highest setting in front and 3" block in rear. It rides rough with 275/70-18 duratracs and too nose high with trailer hooked up. I think I still gain some lift if I bring it down one setting.

The rough ride may be the tires as the Bilsteins improve how the truck feels and handles. The single downside (in my observation and experience from driving with them) is that when used at the highest setting like I do is the reduction in droop travel. If the front end is 2.25" higher, you've gained that much compression travel but lost that in droop or extension travel.

While Bilsteins are easily CAPABLE of running on that top setting, you will be sacrificing some ride quality. They do ride rough at 2.25", for me the sweet spot was the ~1.5" spot (second highest notch)

guys, I love the look... i really really do and will likely buy an autospring 2" front kit...
I have a couple questions that I really need answered
CV joints...
How much angle does this add and for someone like me who lives in Canada, running 4x4 for probably at least 4 months of the year (maybe 10,000k km driving) will this affect its durability?
Block for the rear.
Should I buy a block for the rear? I see that there is quite a bit of rake already on the truck, but I was thinking that rather than raising the rear end height and to prevent "dropping" under load, I'd get airbags that I'd fill up when required.
OR should I get a rear block?
If I get a 2" AS in the front, should I go for 1" shackle lift in the rear?
edit as I have a 2014... apparenlty 1.5 is all I need to get 2 inches
