So I'm probably about a month out but I'm pretty sure I want to reverse level with airbags when I get my truck. I'm trying to sort everything out and looking for comments or suggestions. Before one of you guys ask why I want to do this... it's for a few reasons. First I don't want to mess with the front end geometry and chance screwing with something. I've done that before on other trucks and it was no-fun trying to figure out what part caused "what or this" to happen. Second reason is I have a 7 foot garage door which is 84 inches and the Tremor is very close to that and I would like to fit it in the garage. And lastly, a leveled truck (whether bringing front up or rear down) looks better in my opinion without the raked look. I can't bring the front up because of the garage issue. Either way... if you level your truck you will need airbags to correct the squat when you have weight on it. So with that said...
Looks like the Tremor has a 3.25 inch rear block. I was thinking this kit with a tapered 2.5 degree 1.5 inch block would be good to lower the rear by 1.75 inches. PMF is located in my hometown, so I was thinking I could drop by and pick the kit up and save the shipping costs! Clicky-----> PMF Reverse Level Kit
So the next thing I have been trying to figure out is what airbag set up to use. I really didn't like the way some of the airbag hardware incorporate the bumpstop tang and mount off to the side of the spring pack. This is especially the case now that I would be lowering it and could cause clearance problems trying to fit airbags in there. So I found this setup which mounts over the spring pack. I think this is the way to go because the size of the blocks dont change the clearance between the top of the spring pack and the frame. This kit is made by " Torque" which I researched the heck out of. It's basically the same and better than the Firestone 2600 kit, and also about 100 bucks cheaper. Which is a win win.

So now the last piece of the puzzle was adding the Daystar airbag cradle. Obviously I bought the Tremor because I wanted to go off-roading. Under full extension of the rear axle you can tear your airbags. The Daystar solves this problem. I put a video of the Daystars in action at the bottom of the pictures. Clicky--------> Daystar Cradle
