As part of my month-long suspension refresh, I've just swapped out my rusty, aging SAW coilovers and 890 rear springs with new Tundra Bilstein 5100's (all around) paired to 881's in the front and 890's in the rear. I followed the advice on various sticky'ed threads and put the 881's on the second perch (out of 5, because these are the Tundra shocks).
It has a bit more rake than I was expecting (I expected a little), and it appears to be sitting just slightly shorter in the front than with my SAW's, while the back actually gained a tiny lift. If I wanted to level the front out, I would either need to move to the third perch on the Bilstein's (wasn't recommended) or get a small top plate spacer (also wasn't recommended). Can anyone else running this setup chime in as to the best way to level the front? Anyone else with this setup have this issue?
