    I would say get either ome 885 coils with bilstein 5100s set to 0 or eibach coils with bilstein 5100s set at 0 for the front. For the back I'd say a 1.5 2 inch aal or just rear blocks, which aren't very recommended.

    Need:
    -Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks for the front
    -1.5 or 2" add a leaf for the rear

    Optional:
    -Bilstein 5100 shocks for the rear for a smoother ride
    - Eibach lift coils for a smoother ride
    - aftermarket UCAs to get your alignment in spec

    KPT, if I went 5100 in front with stock coils, what would I set them at? For the rear, I'll probably go with a 1 or 2" block for now. Does the 5100 rear shock address the added length?
    For tires, I'm only looking at 265/70/17, up from stock 65 aspect ratio.

    You can fit that tire size at stock height.

    If you don't want to risk needing new ucas, you could set them at 1.75. They would ride a little smoother than at 2.5". I'd definitely recommend an add a leaf over a block.

    The rear 5100s are only rated for up to 1.5" of lift IIRC.

    this is my 2012 with 5100's in the front and back.
    fronts with stock coils set at 1.75"
    1" readylift blocks in the back
    drives straight and smooth with no vibrations in the wheel or anything from the back.

    i know a lot of people don't like blocks, but i couldn't find one person that has issues with a 1" block, and so far my experience with them is great.

    not the best pic but gives you an idea....

    The ride is fine.

    No, I don't off-road. I did it more to fix the stance of the truck. No complaints here.
