Just got the 5100s @2.5 + TSB

Couldn't be happier! I have a little shudder on takeoff (that the TSB actually improved) and a slight 26mph vibration (but that was there before the 5100s). I have a few washers to adjust the carrier bearing (I'll do that another time though).

The truck is almost perfectly level, it's awesome! Thanks for all the good advice and thanks to Downsouth Motorsports for a great deal on the 5100s!

Next step will be some 265/70/17 Duratracs (with my tax refund money)

 

looks great man!!

 

very nice, will look awesome with the duratracs!!!

 

meh... you'll need more lift in back... but good job

 

fwiw, i just measured the back (from centercap straight up) at 23" and the front at 22.5"...

 

don't worry about it man it looks great! the ride any stiffer?

 

the tsb was a little stiffer, not a big deal and honestly i feel the truck handles better because of it. it took care of a lot of the take off shudder.

the 5100s at 2.5 make the front stiffer but again it feels like it handles flatter. definitely more like a truck but that's what i want.

honestly i still find it very comfortable and have no regrets whatsoever.

 

yea i noticed the same thing with my lift, went with OME. truck was stiffer but i love the feel of a truck ride, same thing you get with a rally car..wouldn't have it any other way! so what's next on the mod list?

 

What is the TSB? What does it ultimately do? Thanks! Nice truck by the way looks awesome!

 

after tires i'm not sure. i'm not one for loud exhausts or sound systems. i think i may ride it out from here, maybe some off-road lights and other small bits

technical service bulletin. some owners complained of the rear ends of their trucks bottoming with load, so if youre under warranty, they upgrade you to a 4-leaf (as opposed to 3) rear leaf pack. do a search, there's tons of info on it.

 

don't start on lights..once you start on lights there's no stopping. just saw a thread a few days ago where a guy had 4 hellas mounted behind his grill, looked crazy awesome and it made me want more lights lol

Looks Good. I just had the TSB done on my 09 and definetly improved. I also have the 5100's coming in on Monday and will have them installed @ 2.5".
