    About to order 4 5100s OME 885 springs and a aal.

    I've been researching on here and elsewhere for about a month and it looks like people are all over the place whether or not it will align correctly or if I need aftermarket UCAs. I'm not off-road much. This is my daily driver. Just love a lifted truck. I've been considering just doing the 5100 in front and a aal in rear, but I would really like to do it all at 1 time and not go back and change springs later. Also gonna be riding on my stock tires for awhile 245/70r16 I think. How goofy am I gonna look?

    Thanks.

    Without the springs save your money and leave it stock.

    You will love the 5100 setup with the AAL's and 885's. Whole different (better) feel and ride. Stiffer in the corners and smoother over bumps and rocks. 5100s are the same as 4600s (come stock on the TRD-OR), the difference is the 5100s are made specifically for a lifted truck - you get more extended shock travel.

    IF you just want the 5100s get the 4600s new or go to the Buy/sell/trade section and buy used 4600s off of someone that lifted an OR. You wont get anything positive from JUST 5100s all around.

    The 5100 are adjustable height. I could raise it 1.75 and many people have. The 4600 are not adjustable height.
