new wheels and topper

I got the Moto Metals and the Leer 180 mid rise on now. I love this thing. Someday 6" Fabtech, 35s, and 4.56s, but not for awhile.

The more I look at it..... It looks a little high in the back. I thought the added weight of the topper and spray in liner would lower it a little more but it only lowered it 1/2" in the back.

Im running the 1.5" Autospring and the 1.5" Skyjacker add a leaf. Will the add a leaf settle a little? It was just put on about a week ago and I havent had a load in the back yet.

Opinions?

Kanter,

I can't believe how the new rims have changed the look of your truck, it really looks sharp ! You might find that the 1.5 add a leaf is a little to much with only a 1.5" front lift. I have the AS 2.5" on mine with the same add a leaf and there is still a rake to it, only levels out when I have the boat hooked on.

What kind of grill do you have and are you happy with it, I'm still looking.

Nice setup man and that's a beautiful house you got there. I wish my backyard opened up like that.

Does the truck sit too high in the back?

If I take the add a leaf off, it sits EXATLY level.

With the add a leaf, it sits exactly 2" higher in the back.

I should have went with the 2" AS instead of the 1.5".

Opinions on how it sits?

I like the way it sits,...so if you take it off, sell me the AAL. I am thinking about getting one, I have the 2"AS in front already.
