3rd gen 5100's w/ AAL

Thanks for the information I just received the same set up that you have Did you do the ECGS bushing also?

 

285/70/17?

 

2wd, so no need for it. But I would highly recommend it since you’ll be working in that area anyways.

265/75/16 falken wildpeak at3w p rated.
They run a little large
I think they’re 32.8 compared to other 265/75 tires that run closer to 32.5

 

Thanks

 

Looks awesome!
Did you leave the overload in with your 3 leaf progressive?

 

Yes, the overload leaf was left in. I wanted to make sure the rear was a little higher than the front.

 

No i put a 1/2” thick spacer on the driver side and a 1/4” thick spacer on the passenger side

 

31.7”

285/75/16 are 32.8”

 

Yeah I figured that out when I was installing it thanks

 

Ha! Nothing like too little; too late.

 

Did you need to install longer studs with the 1/2"?

 

The studs I used came on an assembled 5100/887 from low range offroad. Im pretty sure they were stock height studs but not positive.

 

It worked out good

 

for all you guys using 887 and got around 3".
did you use regular or extended 5100 in rear with your aal?
any bump stops or extended brake lines?
im about to pull the trigger but need a few things clerified
thanks guys

 

Which AAL are you going to use, 3 leaf progressive, single 1.5 or single 2.0 inch?

For the 3 leaf with overload left in I used the standard length Bilsteins, no bump stops or extended brake lines.

 

I went with the 3 leaf aal, standard 5100’s, no aftermarket bump stops and stock brake lines.

 

Same here. The extended length 5100s are for 4" of lift iirc. Icon 3 leaf AAL with overload removed.

 

i got a single aal 2" it says prolly get 1.5 tho cuz of my cap, plus 1"block.
good to know you guys are using standard length, no bumps or brake lines

 

@iiitsmikey have you measured now that its settled?

 

You're going to use an AAL and a 1" block?
