    BFG AT TKO2s 34 x 10.5 x17, Leer 550 Tonneau cover, weather tech digi fit liners, Viper 5901 remote start/security, 2" fr spacer, 3" TC AAL, All Pro IFS skid plate, Trans skid plate & Transfer Case skid plate, 12" roof mounted flip down dvd player, In channel vent visors.
    I installed a Tough Country AAL (2") and gained a whopping 2.75" of lift (combined with a 2* shim).

    Needless to say the shocks are nearly topped out.

    How much do AALs really settle?

    If it isnt going to settle that much I need someone to tell me what rear shocks to buy. Bilstein (what series) and part number would be awesome.
    Otherwise I will run the stock shocks.

    Thanks!

    Rear 5100s are not designed for use with rear lifts over 1.5".

    OP you need bilstein 5125s. They come in custom lengths. Call downsouthmotorsports and they will get you what you need for your setup.

    Here is some good reading on how many sites list the rear 5100s over the manufacturers recommendation.
