    What's up guys just a few questions cause I'm new to this. If I put the Billy's at 1.75 and add the Eibach coil overs that ad 1.6 will I achieve a total lift of 3.8 up front?

    I would think it would be closer to 3.6", if you did it. Most here will recommend against setting the 5100's with Eibachs above .85" though (I believe that would get you ~2.5"). Typically, anything ~2.5" or above will require new upper control arms as well. Also be ready to buy an EGCS bushing to replace the front differential bearing with any amount of lift.

    I know it's not recommended and I think it's because the 5100s aren't long enough and you can over extend them. Plus if your truck is 4x4 your CV angles will be insane.

    Depends on what your looking for. I have Offroad coils set to 1.75", and think the ride is nice. The rebound is a little rough, when you hit a pot hole, but overall not bad. It's firmer than stock, less body roll/brake dive. I also have P rated tires. It might be a little too stiff for me with LT's.

    No problem. Keep in mind though, for most, setting the front @ 1.75" will require some help out back. The front will be slightly nose high on it's own.

    From everything I've read, the 3 leaf progressives give a better ride, but the single leaf has better load handling ability. I have a 2" single AAL, and like the ride.
