    Have a 2017 Sport and question is if I install the 5100's all around at zero setting, are there coils that will give me 2 inches of lift to level out the truck? If so will I be able to run 275 70 17 with no issues and no new UCA's? If this is possible anyone have pics of their truck with this setup?

    You can set the Bilsteins at the 3rd or 4 the notch and level the truck, or you can set the 5100's to 0 and use the OME coils. Here is the link for the OME coils:

    Edit: Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road can help you out as well. I have been talking to her over the last few days and it has been a huge help to which way I want to go with my lift.

    Setting them to the 3rd or 4th notch alone will be a stiff ride won't it? I'm stuck with going only 2 inches or 3 and just getting shocks, coils and new UCA's.

    Yes, it will stiffen up the ride somewhat. Especially if you are going to be using the stock coils. Going the route with the OME coils should make it a smoother ride. I have been researching the different lift combos here on TW for a while, and there are a lot of folks just running the 5100's in front on various notches and are having good results. There are others that are using new OME coils and 5100's set at lowest setting (0), and have a great ride. The ride experience is going to vary for everyone differently.

    I'm wondering if just using the 5100's will be enough to go with 275's and how it would look.

    6112 better than 5100 . I had 5100 all around at one time , with the front set at 1.75 on stock coils . Truck handled and drove good but now I have the 6112s and 5125 in the rear . Big difference. Handles better , and more droop for off road .

    Yes, the 6112 is another great option, and one that I am considering as well. There are so many options out there it can be overwhelming at times. I was reading the review that @smitty99 had done, and found that to be very informative.

    I doubt I will ever go off-road as my truck is 4x2 so not worried about the off-road performance.
