5100 rear lift?

Sooo, while I had momma in a good mood I bought a set of 5100’s and 2” AAL’s.

Thought I had researched enough....

Now I see that the 5100’s are good for 0-1” of lift.

Do I try to cancel the AAL order?

Can I still make this work?

My head is literally frazzled beyond way beyond what’s normal,,,, even for me from searching and reading shock/AAL applications over and over and,,,


Feel free to let me know that I jumped the gun, but dammit, I’m not as good as I once was but I’m as good once as I ever was. I worked hard to get her in the letting me buy stuff mood!!

 

I would cancel the AAL or contact the company and ask them to switch the 5100 order.

 

I had the 5100s for around 90k miles. You can get up to 2.5 inches of lift or down to stock height out of them. They where good for the price! I originally went with blocks in the rear. Some people have mixed feelings about blocks but I never had any troubles. They were only 1.5 if I remember correctly. So I had the 5100s maxed at 2.5" and 1.5" blocks.I don't have many pictures with that setup but I hope it helps. Feel free to ask any questions

 

i have rear 5100s with a rear aal and its just fine

 

5100s all around and 2"aal in the rear. Also looking for a set of coils for the front. Pretty happy with the setup so far but I still want to do more work.

 

Not sure, but are you asking if the 5100s are going to lift the rear? Because they won't. Shocks don't add lift. You still need the AAL for the rear if you want to lift it.

 

Ok. Thanks

 

You would only have some trouble if you flex the rear suspension while doing some real off roading. The shock will be the limiting factor in the suspension travel.

 

Ok. I’m thinking that everyone is saying it is ok to add more than 1” of lift.

 

Switch to what? 5160’s are only good up to 1.5 inches.

 

Either way, my 6112’s go on today. :”>
