    So I've been doing a bunch of research on my options for leveling and lifting my truck. I'd like some help with a question that I'm unsure about.
    I don't off-road a lot and most off road is just trails, nothing too extreme. I'd like to level my truck, mostly for looks and to add wheels and tires. Tires won't be too big as it is a daily driver, I'm thinking 265/70/17 or close to that.
    I like the idea of 5100 and 885 coils. My question is, if I put that set up on the front and leave the 5100 at 0 will I get enough out lift from the 885 to level the front with the rear.
    Also would it be suitable to keep the rear stock with this setup as I really don't need any extra height back there?

    stock for now.
    The 5100 / ome 885 combo seems like what everyone on here goes with. Should be about 1.75" lift is what i have seen. I am in the same boat. I just want to level my truck thats it. I was looking at the strut spacers and new bump stops but all i can find is 2"-3" strut spacers. Seems like that would give a pre runner look. All i would need is 1.5" of lift in the front. i may have to go the expensive route and get new springs.

    You can use the coils you already have with the 5100's. I guess just get front struts and set them at 1.75 with those coils. I just don't know if it will affect the rear enough to have to make a change back there.

    On my 2014 sport the 5100's on 1.75 with stock coils leveled it perfectly.

    Just on the front? Nothing on the rear?
