I'd give it a bit of driving time to see how much it settles, get a few hundred miles and see how it settles before tearing into it again.
Take some measurements.

But it's your truck. Just my personal experience.

I haven't driven it all all I am replacing on of the exhaust manifolds right now so will be a few weeks only have 1 day a week to work on it , lucky me I can just lift the rear since I have helper air bags they won't lift much but alert 1 inch , it will help the look alittle

Lol...... nothing like pressing "the easy button" to lift the back, nice.

When I did mine, I complained on here as well, and guys told me to just give it time to settle. Glad I listened, as I'm "energy efficient" and didn't have to take the front end apart again.

I just picked up a similar machine, yours is much cleaner looking though… are you going to put those running boards back in it?

looks slick! Depending on the tire size I would trim the springs. But you could raise the rear with a lift shackle.

I put a 5/7 djm in mine and it was pretty level right of the start. Being you went 5/8, i don't think it's going to settle enough to level out by looking at your pic. What engine do you have in there?
