    Bilstein 5100's all the way around.
    I recently purchased new 5100s and thinking about getting new coils. I want to take the block out of the rear and want to replace it was AAL. What would y'all recommend as far as what coils i should run for 5100s and what AAL's should i go for in the rear. I want around a 3" lift all the way around.

    Well generally you only do a 1.5 inch lift in the rear with an AAL or 1.5 inch Progressive AAL set up. As far as the front there is OME 887's you could use with the 5100's and no spacers. Or 885's with a top plate spacer. @HeadStrong Off-Road will help you, talk to Marie you will be taken care of.

    OME 887 coils and a 1.5-2" all or progressive AAL. Check out headstrong off-road or wheelers

    3" is too far for an AAL. The icon, wheelers or Toytec progressive AAL will give the best ride, you can leave the overload in and get 2". I would suggest not maxing out at 3" all round if you care about ride quality.

    This is what is being put on my truck Saturday. Front 887's with 5100's supposed to provide roughly 3 inches of front lift. Rear Icon 1.5 Progressive AAL, and rear Icon 2.0 shocks. 3 degree shims, OME Carrier Bearing drop kit. And Camburg UCA's Ball Joint type. So all should be level when done. Post pics Saturday. Again ask Marie at Headstrongoffroad.com

    Yes, I am running this kit with 887s, ride is great couldn't be happier. It gave me 3" at first now it's about 2.75" took a little trimming to fit 285s with no rubbing.
