    I am 99.9% sure I am going to go with the 5100’s with Eunice 3 inch springs -actually 2.5 with a v6 and a 1.5 aal in the rear- I think I will still be a little low in front for a leveled look but I am looking for ride and drivability too. Reason I went with springs is a realized if I went with the 5100 and used the raise perch it keeps the springs compressed and you don’t get full travel out of them. This causing a ruffer ride.

    Wondering if anyone has done this set up. If so still running stock tire (how bad does it look) and if not stock what tires are you running. I love my k02’s so I will be replacing mine with those for reference. Thanks again.

    I haven't been disappointed in my 5100's so far. IDK what Eunice springs are perhaps a brand I haven't heard of. I have the 600# 2.5" Eibah coils on mine with the 5100's set at "0" or the bottom notch. I am also running a 3/8 top hatch spacer on the driver's side and 1/4 on the Pass side. I was at right around 3" but with the addition of a bumper, winch, full skids, and sliders I am down to around 1 3/4" lift which works perfect. In the pics take into consideration I am running a Deaver stage III leaf pack in the rear with B110 shocks so my rear is way higher than just an AAL will provide I am at about 3-4" lift in the rear as the packs are rated for around 1100#. I pull a micro camper and utillity trailer. I have Cooper ST Maxx tires in a 255/80/17 which is a true 33" tire just not as wide.

    You could also go with the Toytec 3” assembly that uses the 5100s and it simply take out your original coilover and bolt in the new one. And the. The 1.5 aal in the rear.

    I have the 5100's all the way around. I use them for my front lift set at 1.75 and they are great. In the back however they are pretty stiff. I think it's because of the lack of weight. I have an access cab with nothing back there. You have a better weight distribution so they may be fine for you. Good luck. I like the white wheels.
