    IMO, if you're going with a spacer lift, get the cheapest one. No spacer lift will ever be "good" in my books.....

    Doesn't matter. They all work the same pretty much. They all just push the stock coilover down 3".

    You could have gotten a full OME kit with Dakars for about $100 more.

    Speaking of lifts... Will 5100's lift the truck alone or are Spacers still required?

    As for the spacers, all shops tell you different because they get a better deal with different manufactures. I'd grab the cheapest one, they are all the same.

    5100s like Braeden said are 0-2.5 to the best of my memory

    5100's have lift settings for the front, and they can be used with stock coils. They have an adjustment for stock height, 1.25" lift (I think), and then 2.5" lift. It will ride rougher the higher you set them though. As for the rear, the 5100's will not provide lift on their own. You'll have to get new leaf packs (best option), an AAL, blocks (I wouldn't recommend), or do a shackle flip (since you're second gen) and lift shackle. If money is an obstacle, I'd say go with the AAL.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong about the shackle flip. I'm not entirely sure about that as it isn't a first gen issue.

    @ramonortiz55 @MatthewMay1 I had the Hankook ATMs and like them a lot on my Tundra. I've heard they have pretty weak sidewalls though. But since I didn't wheel the Tundra, I don't have any experience with that. I don't have any experience at all with their AT.
