    I think I'm just going to leave the rear alone right now. Just 5100s all the around with 887s up front. What setting do i need the 5100s on in front?

    Did you do any shims in the back? Or add the Carrier Bearing Drop Kit?

    The 887's alone might make you nose high, giving you some Compton Bro Lean

    I hear that ALOT I haven't had much of a vibe with my spacer lift. Did carrier bearing drop kit and got rotors rotated and it went away just about all the way.

    Good way to start but if it goes away in 4wd alignment probably won't help. Are you on stock UCA's

    intermediate vibration. I thought for sure the ECGS bushing would have fixed it.

    Maybe some dumb questions here, fellas... I have a 2017 TRD OffRoad I've had for about a week. I know it comes with the Bilstien 4600s, correct? Long story short, I got in a hurry the other day and ordered a Rough Country 2in spacer for the front and a 1.5" block for the rear. It is supposed to be here tomorrow. After reading about all these lifts that y'all have put on your trucks, I'm scrappin that idea. I plan to send those items back and go with the 5100s in the front, for sure, and maybe in the rear also. From what I'm reading on this forum and the sales sites, I can't see where the rear 5100s have any more travel(or stroke) than the stock 4600s. SO, what do you gain with switching the rear to the 5100s? AND if the stock rear suspension is fine for my typical loading/payload, is a block to lift the rear ok? Or is a better setup the AAL???
