I know this may not be the route that many others typically go but it does make for a near perfectly level truck. I have the Geiser Bros front springs at stock perch and the Readylift 1.5" rear block. The block dropped the back about 1" while the springs brought the front up about 1.5". So the factory 3" rake is pretty much eliminated with this combo. I may go Deaver +1's in the future for a better ride but for now this is a stock like ride and a level stance.
Here are the parts used:

NICE! I actually had that EXACT setup until about a week ago when I got my Deavers. The ready lift block was a nice, simple way to get the back down. I went with Deavers just because I personally felt like the back of the truck felt like it wasn't keeping up with the front.

Only small thing I feel like I need now is just get shims. Ive been feeling some vibrations at low speed and deceleration...seems to be pinion angle. I do have 1.5" drop shackles in.

@LEEHWCAP Are you feeling any vibrations at all with this setup? To be honest, I was feeling the vibrations when I had the ready lift blocks too. Nothing that a $20 shim can't fix, just wondering...

I'm not. And I know the feeling, my Tundra had terrible driveline vibration. This has been good so far. I've had the block in for a little over 1k and just put the progressive springs on last week

Glad your not getting the vibration. The stock 2.75" block does have a very slight 1 degree slope on the bottom, to ever so slightly adjust the pinion angle. The one degree shouldn't make a real difference. I think it's my combining that with a 1.5" shackle that puts it over the edge. Deaver is making up some shims for me right now, so should be set after that.

Hey @LEEHWCAP ...your the guy helping me out with the wheel caps, right? How are those coming along? They fabed up already?

Do you think running this combo on mid perch would get the front higher than the back?

I'd say about an inch higher approximately.
