Stock truck had 2" of rake. Started with the RL 2" SST and changed out to the 3" block on the rear. Also installed 5100s and set circlips to position 2. Left the preload spacers off. That got me to 1-3/16" rake.
With a 5,000lb trailer I was squatting pretty bad so took it to a shop and had bags installed on the rear, 5psi unloaded, and had them move the circlip to the top position. They didn't put the preloads in stating it would make driving worse. So I'm topped out on the front and it's now sitting at 2-5/8" rake. Went the wrong direction.
Where do I go from here? Switch back to the factory 2" block and call 1-1/2" rake good enough? Take the bags off and chock it up as a loss? Hate to throw away $1k and need them for payload and trailer support, but didn't realize the minimum 5psi would give that much lift. Also not impressed with the way they ride. Any medium sized bump and there's a sharp impact. I assume that's the internal jounce hitting like a bump stop.
Any ideas out there?
