I'm thinkin' the "nose lift" was the result of some new, very-slightly-larger tires?
Nah, even with the stock tires I had almost .5in difference in the front over the rear. I went with an 2.5in spacer just to get rid of the rake look. 2in would make it even imo.
I have a 19 2.7 with the tow package and fx4, I just switched to Bilstein 6112/5160 with 10k km on the truck to improve the ride
I need to measure but with a full tank of gas it looks like the front may be a hair higher, with less gas it didn't seem to be
does anyone know what the stock read block size is, I think I would like to raise the rear a 1/2"(I don't want to bring back the rake again)
Can someone explain to me how Bilstein 5100s set at 2.1 are better for your suspension than say a 2” spacer? I’ve read that numerous times here and I’m having a hard time understanding how the angle of the cv shaft would be any different.
With 3” of rake and a rear fender over 40” I can’t decide whether to go with a 2” spacer, 2.5” spacer, or Bilsteins at 2.1. If there is tangible evidence that Bilsteins are easier on your suspension I’ll pay the $400. Otherwise I’ll probably just get a 2 or 2.5 spacer kit. I’d be shooting for 1/2” to 3/4” of rake when I’m done.
I did a 1.5" level and it left me with 3/4" of rake. I have the light weight 2.7 engine though so it lifted a little more than 1.5". They make the spacers with the geometry of the heaviest engine to make that amount of lift. So if you buy a 2" level spacer, it will lift a 3.5l 2", it will lift the 5.0l slightly more and the 2.7l slightly more again.

Sure, the rear OEM block measures 1.25" in thickness.
