    Search for 5100s and an AAL or Old Man Emu set ups.

    It is going to depend on a lot of factors, such as what you want to be able to do with the truck, so the more details the more people can help you. Welcome to TW btw! I see this is your first post. There are some FAQ threads and such that will really help you learn how to use the search function to do a ton of research as well as ways to navigate the site and whatnot. Enjoy man :thumbsup:

    Depends on if you wanna wheel it or not. I have the Bilstein/Eibach combo up front and Bilstein 5150's paired with All-Pro Expedition leafs in the back. Altogether gave me about 3 in the front and almost 4 in the back. I love it, but it all depends on what you're looking for. Just snoop around and you'll find a lot of information. Good luck!

    Welcome to TW! Tons of options out there, all depending on what you're after. 5100s with OME coils is the option I went with along with a few custom (cheap, but awesome), leaf spring mods gave me 2.25"s in the rear, and 2" in the front. Ride is good, but be aware of a few vibes in the drivetrain you may pick-up along the way.

    Is your truck a long bed or short bed? I find a 3" lift looks a little small for a long bed.... been really thinking about this for a while now... and think that 6" is the way to go with a DCLB.... but I'm not wheeling mine... so again... gonna need to know what your plans for the truck are....
