    In addition to a 3" lift, to accommodate 33" tires (285/70r17), you will likely need to remove the front mud flaps and do some trimming, which may include cutting your forward cab mounts and welding new steel plates to them to make room for the tires. Also, with a 3" lift comes the need to replace your Upper Control Arms to achieve a proper alignment. As far as ride quality goes, all of the lifts mentioned (5100, OME, adjustable coilovers) will be significantly stiffer than your stock suspension.

    OP mentioned coilovers with remote reservoirs and not being opposed to spending money, so something along the lines of Icon, King, or Fox would probably be more bueno than OME or Bilstein.

    He'll get the best ride with kings or icons. So if he doesn't mind spending the money then go for it

    I just swapped my 5100s for 6112s... And I'd highly recommend the 6112 as an option worth considering. Way better handling, body roll, ride, etc. That said, I was happy with 5100s, but these are truly significantly better.

    It's not lifting the truck that tears it up, It's putting the biggest tire on that we possibly can. Then beating the piss out of it off road.

    True enough, but a more moderate lift, at least in my case, meant zero driveline vibes. It is apparent that many folks have to really struggle to find a solution to these vibes.

    This is interesting, I've seen some people replace them with the full ome lift, but mine was well within limits with stock uca. 15000 miles later still no issue. I do keep a camper shell and winch on it full time though
