    Hey guys been looking at lift options and wanted to see what everyone's feelings on the 5100's are? Seems like for the most part everyone is pretty happy with their purchase. Looking for around a 2.5" lift (which most achieve with this kit), mostly highway/local driving but a fair amount of off road as well. Seems like this option would keep my ride closer to stock with a little more stiffness and wheeling performance.:rasta::taco:

    Thanks, I appreciate the recommendation. I've read all most of the threads on on the 5100's and they seem like a great choice for keeping ride quality and performance enhancement. I will defiantly be hitting them up when the time comes, which will be much sooner then later. Even if I pay a little bit more it's worth the good customer service, it goes a long way only book.

    Wow, thanks a bunch for your input... So helpful.
    After reading pretty much every thread I could on the 5100s I figured it would be nice to get some actual feed back from some very pleased customers. So heres an idea... Don't comment on threads if you nothing constructive to say because in the end your wasting your finger energy and my time. I'm sure everyone else would appreciate it too. Thanks.

    Here is an even better idea. Use the search feature and read even a fraction of the threads posted about 5100 as it is the most common thread on this site. Then you will not waste finger time or the time of the entire membership of this site to read this question yet again for the hundredth time this month.

    If you don't want me to comment on your thread then don't post on a public forum asking for opinions.

    Thanks.
