How's it look??

It turned out great. I have taken it through the woods and hills 3 times since; one of the days in freezing rain and it performed amazingly. The ride is far better than the stock set-up. As a matter of fact I took my nephew out a couple weeks ago and did a little off-roading and he said he couldn't get over at how well it rode as we were running up and down hills and on muddy/grassy terrain. I've also taken it on the highways at 70mph+ and it tracks perfectly...absolutely no regrets!

How much did the leaf pack cost? Looks good! You got about 2.5 in front?

It is an 8 leaf spring set from Wheelers Off Road that was around $600. And yes with the Bilstein adjustable front shocks my mechanic kept it at the setting that is a bit lower than the back. This was done so that when I'm towing a load the front end isn't sitting way higher than the back. I got 3" of lift in the back. i am very happy with the results.
 
Well Bravo I pulled the trigger today on the OME springs and u bolts and bilistein 5100s...right at 600 bucks not counting shipping to central CA. Glad I did this and not an add a leaf...

Yes, i was told it's much better to have a leaf spring kit installed instead of the add-a-leaf. And you will like the Bilsteins!! Let me know too how it turns out.

Hello also new to this forum. I was just thinking about the exact shocks and leaf springs. Are you going to get better coils as well? Will the truck be leveled? And do you have any pics? I have 2015 dclb 4x4 haven't done mine yet.

Hey David, welcome!
As of right now, all the parts are sitting on the floor. For the front I got Toytec 521600 coilovers with the Bilistein shocks and Fabtech uca's. Called Toytec, they said I'll get 3 in. from that. The Dakars I hear will give a little less 2 1/2 or so.
