I got the Bilsteins 5100 set at .75", i think ill set them at 1.5" with the coming upgrades.

Thank you Sir, i like it too with the little rake, but with the 20x12 wheels i could use a little more space in the front.

I agree, you want to have a slight rake. Every time people try to "level" their truck unloaded, it ends up getting a reverse rake and it looks retarded. Your truck is sweet as it is.

I agree with the rake, it looks better, but in my case i need a little more space due to the 20x12. with that mentioned i guess that i need a little bit more work to keep that look. maybe an AAL kit and coilovers, who knows
I also agree on the reverse rake it looks retarded.
