Lift help and explanations

Hello TW, been a long time lurker and decided to join with some questions of my own. I know this has been discussed numerous times but I am wanting a thread of my own.

My truck as it sits is a 2011 DCLB 4x4, factory suspension running 265/75-16 BFG KM2's. My truck has 72k miles.

The BFG's are wearing down and I have decided instead of just replacing the tires I will do a lift as well.

I am not really wanting to do a full three inch as I tow 4 wheelers and a pop up pretty often. I am wanting more of a leveling kit in the front end without running into alignment issues.

I have considered just using 5100's all the way around and setting them on whichever setting leveled the truck. How does that sound to all of you?

Some other questions:

Biggest tire with just 5100's?

Should I replace coils as well, if so with which ones?

Do I need a diff drop kit?


Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for your help.

To sum it up I'm really just wanting to run minimal lift for 32-33" tires while improving on the factory ride.
