the Bilstein .85 or 1.75 (this may help your decision)

[SureShot516]

I see on here all the time members asking which will "LEVEL" the truck. measuring from the hub to the wheel well will not give you a true "level" measure, it will tell you how much lift you have gained though

I installed Blisteins 5100's on all corners the front set at .085 (second notch from bottom) and kept the stock OEM springs 2005 SR5 V8

Measurement from center hub to the wheel well.

Front before install 19"
rear before 21"

Front after install 20"
rear after 21"

so it appears i still have 1" Rake, when in fact measured from ground to the frame on both sides it is perfectly level @ 13.25" front and back
so although the 1.75" setting would make the measurement of the wheel wells level you will in fact have a negative rake when measuring ground to the frame

can someone who has no suspension mods on a 4th gen, tell me what the ground to frame measurement is both front and back on their vehicle

In addition can someone also measure ground to frame on those that went 1.75 in the front

Thank You
Dan
