(Another) 5100 Question

I have searched the forum but there is so much information on the bilsteins that I haven't found the specific answers to my quesitons. So any help or link to the right forum will be appreciated.

1. Any ride quality/performance issues with just doing the 5100's up front and leaving the rear stock? I was going to set them at 1.75" or 2".

2. If I wanted to do the leaf spring TSB, should I do it before installing the 5100's? Will having the front level (raised) keep the dealer from doing the TSB

Some pertinent info: I have an 07 double cab sport 4x4 long bed with 265/70 R17 BFG all-terrains. I do some off-roading. I rarely have weight in the back but when I do I notice the bottoming out.

Thanks ahead for any information.

I'm not sure if each truck is different, but I've got my front set at 1.75, no rear TSB or lift. Measures within 1/4" on drivers side and within 1/8" on passenger side. Trucks got right at 5000 miles on it. It looks level and according to the measurements, it's damn close.
