    the 5100's (on STOCK setting) ride great. I just took my truck down an uneven, rough dirt road, with a bunch of pot holes and stuff, and it rode much better than it did stock. I don't recommend keeping the stock rear shocks with the AAL though :eek: billy's, or OME all around for sure..

    Well here is mine at 2.5" front and Wheelers AAL in the rear... Mind you I am on a slight uphill slope so it almost looks level the truck but when I am on level road the front sits lower than the back. That is why I want to get the 884's for my front setup.

    So if you didnt do the AAL in the rear the front would be higher than the rear right?

    Yea I am def looking forward to getting them. I am sick of being in a parking lot and looking at my truck sit lower in the front. I have to measure all my corners before I do anything to see if I need any additional spacers etc. to ensure all 4 corners match.

    What AAL did you go with? I used the Wheelers one and am wondering if the Wheelers and Alcan Toytec both sit the same height.

    ebay down south motors, or wheelers offroad. or 4 wheel parts - they will price match. Just make sure 4WP doesnt sell you used shocks lol
