Once you lift the front it will level out a bit and look similar to Dee3's. I feel like lifting the front not only lifts the front, but also rebalances the vehicle by pushing/placing force back towards the rear a bit, not a ton, but some (definately more than now haha). It will look and feel better once you lift the front.
Like others, I only upgraded to 861's after adding a cbi rear bumper with tire carrier, 285 spare and two jerry cans. I also carry my tools and gear in the back most of the time, have a roof top tent, skids and sliders etc... The ride actually feels softer than my tundra 5100's up front with the weight. Flex is awesome, I did ditch my rear sway as well.
With no weight (in your case), you will achieve the same rake and lift results as I have and others running this setup with weight and 861's, by going with 891's or LC 7.5 wrap coils instead. The benefit of doing this will be a smoother ride. I (my personal preference) would only stick with the 861's if you plan to put a rear bumper on there in the near future or put some weight back there in the interim. It really just depends on your ride preference. Some people actually prefer a stiffer/sportier ride, so go with what you want and live and learn if need be. You can always trade someone on the forum for some 891's when they want to go up to 861's.
