    What fender flares are those. Did your original not have any at all?

    From the pic, it looks like he either plastidipped the original flares or swapped them for the OEM off-road. My rig didn't come with any flares at all, but I added OEM off-road flares.

    Whats the 4th notch equate to? I bought my 17' used, and they had a spacer lift in front, and i want to swap it out and go with 5100s also, but not sure if it is worth it right now? dont mind losing .5-1 inch of lift in front since it is riding a little nose high.

    I got about 1.5” which is about what they advertise.

    Nice. I've also read the higher you set the bilsteins, the firmer the ride, have you noticed a difference at that hight ? Thanks for the help

    Yes, with the stock coils it will be stiffer. It’s definitely stiffer but not horrible. If I did it again, I’d go ahead and get the ome coils installed on the 5100’s from the start. @HeadStrong Off-Road can get you fixed up with the set.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I got my truck used and the previous owner had a spacer in front. Doesn't ride horrible, but I know I will eventually need to upgrade it.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, havent done too much research yet...

    Does adding a suspension lift and bigger tires (i.e. 4-6 inch lift with 33s) affect the speedometer? Does it need to be re-calibrated?

    Too much.
    Day I brought it home:

    taco.jpg

    July at Hampton Beach, NH

    beach 2.jpg

    Details are in my meager build thread, but a quick rundown:

    Bilstein 5100, stock position
    OME 884 springs
    Rogue 1-1/2" AAL
    Level 8 Mk6 in Gunmetal, 17x8 - 0 offset
    Falken Wildpeaks AT3W 265-70-17 Standard Load

    I haven't checked to see what the "post settling" height change is yet.

    I dont have any before pics, I started to modify the truck within 24hrs of its arrival as I had a garage full of parts waiting for the truck to show up. It started as DCLB OR.

    In over two years of ownership, this is how it looks today.20180911_133806.jpg 20180727_130211.jpg
