    I had the 5100's, 1 inch block and a extra overload leaf, cb spacer. The ride was good, but the back end hopped going over large bumps. I changed the shocks to the rcd 5100's and the ride smoothed out.
    Rn I have the normal 5100's, cb spacervand extra overload leaf and the ride is fine. Took out the block.

    What leaf did you use and how much did it lift? Seems like an extra leaf would add stiffness as opposed to a block.

    I'm running the B110s in the rear with the Dakar Med leaf pack. Rides like shiitake mushrooms. But I also have very little weight back there and I dont mind it too much.

    The block wont cause the issue like others have stated. I have one and extended 5100's. Just raises leaf but has same footprint as axle plate. 3'' longer travel shocks and running e rated 33's. My truck rides smooth. No hop or bounce. The factory shocks aren't long enough, on street should be. Might be topping them out on rebound though

    I first had 2" block with 5160's (15 TRD pro set-up) ride was good, no diff then stock sport ride. Now have 3 leaf progressive in with overload in. Ride same as other set-up's... very happy with it.

    Yes the extra overload leaf added stiffness to the pack and lifted 1 inch.

    Interesting since I have the same, (B110's & Medium Dakars) and my bed is also empty 97% of the time. My truck was only a month old when I swapped my entire suspension, and the improved ride quality in the rear was the most noticeable change.

    I think the issue was my dakars gave me almost 4 inches after install. So if I had to guess, it's running too high. No idea honestly
