    I wanna know how many people, who currently run 5100s at 2.5 or those who have had them in the past, ran into issues like vibrations and/or the shakes. If so please elaborate.:D
    Thanks

    i'm running 5100's at .85 with the eibach 1.6" springs which gives around the same amount of lift (if not more) and i havent had any vibrations whatsoever as of yet.

    If you have 4x4, it's a 1" drop so it doesn't interfere with driving the vehicle.

    if your like me a tried the diff drop the axle shims and the c.b. drop now worked
    the vib is minor at best.. but im a o.c. so what i did is added some m/t and a bass box and now i love it
