This is what I’m planning. Bilstein 5100’s up front set at 2.8. ReadyLift or Zone UCA’s to deal with the angles. Out back, Tuff Truk 1221v with a 1” Daystar spacer. Is anyone running this setup or can tell me will she be Vin level? Slight rake? Definitely don’t want to be nose high. Thanks

If you truck is like just about everyone else, it has about 2-2.25" rake stock. For comparison, I first did a 1.5" front end lift (1st pic attached), although it still had a rake it looked level. Ended up raising the rear 3/4" to make it look right ,I like a little rake ( 2nd Pic). At 2.8" I think depends on the look you want (and if you haul anything). 1221V springs are the unknown. Know couple guys have done 2"/1", ran into a guy about a month ago had a 3"/1.5" (stock springs) his looked level.
You almost need to put it in, then fine tune the rake you want after it settles via rear spacers swaps, they are easy enough to.

Yeah. Your probably right. Makes sense. Thanks. And I thought I remember reading somewhere that those 1221v springs are a tad shorter than stock, although a whole lot better, which further supports the try and see theory.

1223V are 17.75" long vs stock 18.25"
Should keep your rear at same stock heigth according to TT
1223VT should provide 1.5" over stock coils and those are at least a tad long at 18.5"
Both are 35% stiffer than stock on their heavier rate.
