    Go with the 5100's. You will basically have stock suspension, but will sit a bit higher. Much better than spacers and they are not expensive.

    measure the gap from the bottom of ur fender flare to the center of the hub/centercap while on LEVEL ground.

    Use a floor jack to lift the truck by the frame little by little till u find a look u like.

    measure the same points again.


    the 5100's offer approx lift points of:

    0

    0.85"

    1.75"

    2.5"


    find a happy medium


    theres a LOT of things that can make our trucks respond differently to the identical lifts.


    leaf pack wear

    reg cab
    access cab
    double cab

    long bed
    short bed

    tow package

    4x4
    prerunner

    auto
    manual

    armor

    numerous bolted on parts

    ........its a rough estimate when asking others what u should set them at because not all trucks are alike.

    I just did 5100's on my TRD sport DCLB (4 leaf rear) and the 1.75" setting was perfectly level.
