    You guys know of any small shims,wedge or blocks to raise the rear of the truck about 1/2”?
    Tape measure says they’re perfectly matched eyeball says different.

    lol I’ve looked at it from all angles still seems low in the rear…tryn to avoid the central FL. “Palatka lean” look. Hopefully the front settles a little bit tho. I’m afraid when I put the camper shell on there it’s going to be very apparent.

    If you do any hauling or towing RAS (active suspension) might serve you better. Cost isnt much and it greatly helps in supporting the weak factory leafs. No degrade in ride that you get from lift blocks or add a leaf. It helps with handling, squat when hauling and towing and does everything they say it does.

    Tension is adjustable on it, Ive got mine set in just under the black disk setting, black is heavier and white is lighter and it lifted the rear an inch. If you used the white disk, would probably be about 1/2 inch lift.

    Agreed, i just installed the RAS in conjunction with 5100’s front and rear. The front gave me 2” of lift to level, the RAS has me level all around with camper shell, heavy RTT and a decked system full of tools. The RAS is on the heavy setting, so when i add tongue weight, im not sure how that will work out yet. But super easy to install and adjust. Price point way better than a leaf pack.
