Need some suspension advice

Ok guys here it goes, I have a daystar 2.5in spacer lift. It goes on top of the strut so no preload but I've heard they limit down travel. I have seen some pics of shocks taking a beating and For the 194 bucks from downsouth motorsports I can get 5100's for the front, it is worth the money I think. I will keep my tapered block in the rear with the shocks though. I think this will be the best choice for the future since I plan on keeping the truck for a long time. What do you guys think?

 

Don't waste money. Get good suspension off the hop. Trust me

 

so hold off on the 5100's?

 

^^^This.

 

I do some trail driving but nothing as extreme as rock crawling. I put the leveling kit on thinking it would be fine but after seeing some of the pics with the broken shocks im a bit concerned. plus I want my full suspension travel available. I was thinking the 5100's were the way to go.

Also if anyone knows. I have the tapered block in the rear with longer shocks from daystar, do you think if I did get the 5100's and set them at 1.75 it would sit ok or be too high in the rear.

 

Op You didn't state in Ur opening comment that u were thinking of going to 5100's. Thus the confusion. People thought u meant that u wanted to install the spacers.

 

oh man,....just saw that.... sorry guys!

 

Ok so I have decided to get the 5100's and set them at 1.75. But...I have a 2 in lift block in the rear with longer shocks. Will the rear be too high? or will it sit decent. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

 

ditch the block, get a progressive leaf pack

 

Save the money, I dont get why so many people buy AAL just for the "meantime" until they get full leafs? Dont buy meantime shit save up and buy good quality parts, the last way longer.

 

I don't have a few hundred extra right now to put towards a leaf pack so was going to do a bit at a time. Just wondering if the 2 in block will be to much in the rear.

EDIT. I will have the extra money in a month

 

anyone think that the 2in block will be to much rake with the 5100's set at 1.75?

 

bump...anyone??

 

hate to be a pain in the butt guys but im getting ready to make a purchase and need some input from you guys. My new budget is around 600 give or take a couple hundred.

 

ok another update.. I am going with 5100's front and rear. Front adjustables with eibach springs set at 0 on the billy. Rear 1.5in add a leaf from toytech. What do you guys think?

 

any input?

 

bump...

Be patient man....or use the search function. There are probably 3000 threads about suspension setups.

 

Get toytec adjustable coils they are right at 600 I believe
