Should I go from .75 to 1.5 or just put airlift on it?

I like the stance now (with no load, maybe 1/4 inch or so more rake would be cool) but if I load something in the back I get the nose up more than I like!

If it's to reduce sag only while towing then air bags in addition to the 3/4" spacer may be your best option .

If you do not mind another 3/4 rake all the time , then go with the 1.5" spacers .

Remember , spacers do not fail , or require adjusting or any maintenance.

This is why I went with the 1.5" spacers.

Has anyone installed the 1.5" spacer on top of the 50% tuff truck coils?

49k and I'm still on my factory shocks in.the back & I have 1.5" TGC rear coil spring spacers installed.

The factory ones are fine for the 1.5" spacers . I.see lots of folks running the bilsteins in the back .

@R.L.K. I stumbled on this thread doing research myself. Great write-up. I just had Fox 2.0 shocks added along with Bilstein 6112s up front on my Zone 6". I am tossing 37s on later, but until then I see I am 3/4 nose high and will put in a 1" TGC spacer. In looking at your DIY, you mention jacking at the diff then jackstands on the frame. Can you give me a suggestion of frame position for the jack stands? I have always just put jack stands on the axle in the rear.

Thanks!

I put jackstands on the frame just fwd of the axles , but you could put them anywhere near that location or more to the rear .
Hope this helps !
