    Got the 5100's (back already installed) and i have been waiting for new tires before i throw the front's on that way i can get the alignment all at once. I also have the TSB done and my original plan was Setting to Billies .85, Eibach Coils, TSB W/1.5" AAL... I upgraded my wheel size from stock 265/70/16 to a 275/70/17 because i wanted something a little more beefier to throw on the lift as well.. I know the tires will give me a little lift on its own however, i'm having 2nd thoughts about being to ruff of a ride adding another 1.5 AAL to the TSB lift pack. If i set the Billies to 2.5" with just the TSB then i'm going to be a little nose high.. I really like how the .85/Eibachs/TSB (AAL) looks. What are your all's opinions?:confused:

    Eibach coils. 5100's all around. AAL. WickedFlow
    I have the .85 eibach combo with 2inch AAL. No tsb. I still have some rake.

    I think your right, you'll be a little nose high with just the tsb and 2.5 up front.

    I would go ahead and put the AAL on. You might sacrifice a little bit of ride quality, but it will look the best.

    If you really don't want to add the AAL maybe set your 5100's to "0" and just get the 1.6 inches out of em.

    Yeah from all the stuff I read from previous threads and posts, when people just get the TSB done, they put their 5100''s at 1.25" and they all say they are leveled out. 2.5"s for sure will make your nose sit higher.

    True. I don't believe 1.75 will give me all the lift that Im really looking to achieve though. Ahhhhh

    I would have to measure. I did at on time but in the rear I want to say I was a 1/2 inch taller.

    No emergency bud , but if you get a chance , centre of wheel hub to bottom of fender would be great .

    Thanks

    Grillcraft, Rear leaf TSB, 5100's at .85, with Eibachs, 265/70/17 BF Goodrich AT/S Tires, Hella 500's behind Grill, Kenwood KDC X995 H/U all Boston Acoustic speakers, JL Audio subs, Kenwood XR5 S amp, ATX Chrome 17x8 wheels
    You have the Eibachs and the 5100's set at 1.75.? That is completely not recommended.
