    First off, I know this is a redundant question but I'm in a tight time crunch and am currently in class so I don't have time to search. Where is the cheapest place to order 5100 shocks and an AAL? Is there any specific 1.5"AAL you would recommend? Thanks, Bill.

    Right here, I bought a couple sets, good prices and great to deal with. Mine were 300.00 with free shipping, but it was a year or so ago. That was the Adj. fronts and stock - up to 2 inch rears. downsouthmotorsports.com


    I just saw the second part about the AAL. Personally I would not recommend them unless you have to go that route. I tried a set of Toytecs and they snapped after a couple months. Then I went to a Skyjacker Soft ride, and it was crap. Finally did the smart thing and went with All Pro Expo's, and got something for my money I was happy with. The rear springs are junk in our trucks , and in my case the AAL's just weren't enough to make a difference. Others have good luck with them. I also do haul a lot in my truck,500-600 pounds at all times, so that is the reason for the Expo's . Hope this helps.

    Downsouth or wheelers for the 5100's. Also If you are wanting to do an aal get the icon or wheelers 3leaf pack. Of course the better thing to do would be to just replace your leaf pack. I have the all pro's and love them.
