    As most of us have, my 2011 4wd sport has crappy leaf springs (i have the TSB leafs) I'm going to install a 3 leaf profressive in the rear but was wondering who has thier 5100's set to 2.5 with stock SPORT springs. I know people say the ride is harsh with the offroad progressive springs but I was wondering who has done this with linear springs and how they like it. Thanks in advance!

    I think after the 1.75" setting the sport springs start to get harsh too. You might be better off with an OME set up.

    I suggest you get yourself some ome 885 coils and set it at zero. I just installed the same set up on my truck. And honestly it rides 10x better then stock. Just my opinion.

    I have sport coils @ 1.75 and it's noticeably stiffer. The truck corners nice and level now with no nose dive. Whenever I decide to finish my lift, I'm getting coils @ .00
