    Bout the same if you are a DCSB. 885s will probably ride better though

    You won't want to do that. 885's on 5100's set at zero or at the .85 setting. Setting 0 if you have no armor and even that is a little stiff. Just my two cent. At max 2.5 setting with 885's without armor and bumper = cv issues.

    Either of those would work good for 275s.
