    I had to replace the upper ball joint today and noticed something about my front suspension. I always wondered why my fronts were black. Well it turns out they're 5100s!!! Previous owner must have spray painted them. Springs seem OEM though. See pics!

    Now I'm one step closer to my lift! Thoughts on the rear? 5100s and AAL?

    looks like you have the stock sports billies and 3+1 TSB leaf pack. I may be wrong though.

    I must be blind, but I can't see that anywhere (but then again I'm on my phone)

    And I don't see multiple perch pockets, but maybe the spring is blocking them?

    Right above the barcode in the 1st pic. Springs/camera angles are probably blocking the spring perches.

    They're 5100 24-186711 which are adjustable set on .85 I guess bc I can see the bottom ring and the seat is on the one above that. I'm guessing they're stock springs bc my height seems stock. Going to order 3inch eibach springs, 5100 for the rear and AAL from toytec.

    Then these...

    The previous owner must have painted them. The Last pic is to show the over spray on the label.
