    The hard part for me is that there is not much middle ground. I have a set of 5100's and am ready to upgrade but the next step up is 4-5 times more expensive, especially for the front. I don't need reservoirs and adjusters but even just a set of 2" or 2 1/2" are pretty expensive. I've accepted that I'll have almost $2,500 in the suspension and that is on the super cheap side.

    Yes I like you have 5100's with Eibach coils and they work fine for now but will eventually wear out especially since I got them second hand andaleady had some miles on them. It is exactly as you said you go from something that's relatively affordable to rediculously exspensive. Crap just a decent priced modest mid travel setup and your up to at least 3K sorry I just don't have that laying around to burn up

    I've done the exact same thing. I've looked at 5100's, coil springs, and add a leaf springs, damn that adds up fast, forget adding UCA's and then bigger tires. Looks like I'll have to remain at stock height, maybe if I can find a used stock setup from a 3rd gen I could afford to get a little more ground clearance. I would never be able to afford or justify the cost of a King setup. I have Champaign taste with cheap beer funds.

    comparitively you can talk to Marie at Headstrong and she can put together a pretty reasonable package. Of urse this all depends on what your budget is and what you consider reasonable She can put you together a decent yet basic package for under $700 I believe it just depends on what you want

    I have a hard time letting this go I've had it for about 17 years and built it from the ground up including most of the paint work but I sure could build a hell of a truck

    He's been poking around the North West threads a little but otherwise pretty quiet. Never met him in person but he's gonna help me do some work on my truck in a few weeks so as far as I know he's all good.
