Default Bilstien 5100s w/ Add-a-Leaf Picture Request

I've done multiple searches on the forum and on google, and I can't quite seem to find what I'm looking for so I'm posting this thread. Looking for some photos of a 2009+ F150 with Bilstien 5100s at the 1.5" setting with an add-a-leaf as well. I'm getting Toyo Open Country AT II's (LT285/75/17) put on my 2011 F150 5.0L XLT 4x4 SCREW with adjustable 5100s and a ProComp add-a-leaf. I'm thinking the 1.5" setting on the Bilstien's is the way to go, just trying to see what that looks like with an AAL. Those with the 5100s maxed out (2.25") feel free to post pics and comment on ride quality. Thanks!

I actually have this exact setup. Bilstein 5100 set at 1.5" and procomp AAL in the rear, but I removed the factory rear block to give a 1" rake instead of a 3" rake. Also have 285/75r17 Toyo AT's.

I have the Procomp Leaf too. Needed it after the RC 4inch kit left me sagging in the rear by a full inch. Lucky me I guess.

Only if you consider reduced axle wrap a downside.

No cons in removing them. 2wd's don't have them plus like mentioned it reduces axle wrap.
