Installed Bilstein 5100's front and rear, and also installed a Roadmaster Active suspension kit on the rear leaf packs. I bought the Bilsteins to level the front, and the after alot of research bought the Roadmaster to increase load capacity to prevent the rear from sagging when loaded. The Roadmaster Active Suspension is nothing more than a heavy duty coil spring that counters your leaf pack when it wants to flatten out; bringing it back to the stock arc. I had never seen a rear suspension kit like this before, but I am very happy with the purchase. I got 3/4" lift in the rear, setting at their recommendations, and the ride performance, coupled with the Bilsteins, has improved exponentially. No more soft, swaying suspension, but it didn't make the truck so stiff it rode like a wagon iether....a crisp, responsive, level ride.
With gaining 3/4" in the rear, I set the Bilstein front's at the third setting (1.32) and actually got 1.5" lift in the front. All in all, I got a much better ride and more level truck, but not so high in the front that it doesn't look right. I measure 41" to the ground from the top of the rear fender, and 39-3/4" on the front.
I will be posting pics to the thread for reference once I figure out why my camera is on the fritz.
