    Will I see it if I keep the OEM springs?
    or
    Will it only be noticeable after the springs are upgraded?

    No matter what springs you use you will need it to make it level. They sit crooked in stock form.

    If you go with 1.75 you will not need any thing else. Just alignment of corse.

    What you could do before you install the 5100s is get it on level ground and measure from the ground to the bottom of the fender. Stick a jack under it and lift it 1.75 and 2.5. You'll be able to get a rough idea of what will look better to you. Of course the 5100s might not set EXACTLY at 1.75 of 2.5. Just thought you might wanna try that. I'll be doing that next week before I put mine on
