Will this raise the rear at all? If so, how much and is there a corresponding front shock that will "level" things out to prevent front tilt?

Yes, about 3/4", the only strut that will work is the bilstein strut with 3/4" to 2" adjust. Cool thing is you can match 3/4" or level front, your choice.

This particular shock if for between 0" and 1" of lift. Bilstein offers shocks for the rear for someone with 6" of lift. I would recommend checking their website.

i don't know about it lifting the rear but mine dropped by 2 to 3 inches. But i'm happy with the ride , just a slight difference from the old air suspension system.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

Yes, it does tilt, by about 10^ or so (estimated). As others have noted, it be nice if it tilted just a little more in many applications. There are four screws accessible from the back to loosen the rotation, and it tilts on pins. Tighten the hell out of those screws before replacing, or it will 'droop' unintentionally. I have rough enough roads that I ultimately put a drop of glue into the swivel after getting the aim right.

I just installed these in my 03 4runner. It raised the front about 2inch. They have different setting you can put them on. So you can have it at the stock setting or crank it up. I have mine on the highest setting. Have a mechanic install them if you choose the highest setting because you use the stock coil to go over these shocks and it was a pain trying to compress the compress with a spring compressor. These shocks are really nice and they are a bit softer than the fab tech shocks I installed in the back. Hope this helped.

It will not lift your car any higher than the stock. what i used it for was raising the car back up with a wheel chair lift on the back that made it sag and it worked great. You might try air shocks i have had luck with those in the past they can raise your ride hieght a few inches when you air them up.

Yes, you should be able to adjust the front tilt by adjusting the bars on the back up or down.

These Monroe's do lift the back end. And they were pretty stiff. Replacing the front may help to level the truck but if the ass end is still higher than the front keep in mind this is a heavy duty shock and for a small truck this will help when hauling trailers.

You do not need a riser if you absolutely dont want one. You can make a homemade item that keeps your front wheel stable All the riser does is lift your bike up and keep it stable so that you are not riding on a decline.

I suppose you could....but why? Then your front will be higher than your rear. Defeats the purpose of a "leveling" kit...

Yes, you need a riser to keep the front wheel from moving around. I had tried without a riser my first time and it did not end well

it did raise the rear end about 1" i set it to the max for towing heavy loads.

I installed this kit over the summer, and it does not appear to level the truck out, the lift blocks maintain the stock rake to the front. So now I am thinking about buying coil overs for the front (lift springs and shocks)

You can just install these alone however take into consideration the factory stance is much taller. These will lower the rear of the bike 2-4" depending on the model. Mine was 4". Leaving the front with stock springs will work but make the front appear taller for sure and give it a raked out look. If you want to lower the front to make the bike appear more level then it's all a matter of your own taste. Function and geometry won't be affected by lowering the rear alone so it's up to you on the front. I used a Burly lowering kit on the front of mine to drop it 2" and level it out some. The Progressive kit is also good.

I would strongly suggest it. Initially I tried without one and I felt like I was falling over the handlebars. Plus it seemed to put a lot of stress on the front tire. I bought the riser the next day.

I think so...it depends on how much you torque on the adjustment nuts. I think it raised the "empty" height of my 2011 F150's bed using factory torque specs for towing heavy loads.
