    Out of fear of worsening ride quality, I did not want to just raise the spring perch on the 5100s, so I purchased front OME springs as well. I went the Amazon route for everything so that I could use my Hilton points for the lift, but I don’t think I saved anything over buying the complete kit from headstrong.

    My recommendation would be to save up for the headstrong kit simply because it includes everything. By piecing the same kit together, I ended up making multiple orders as I forgot about one piece or another. A great example would be the 1/4” driver’s side spacer for the taco lean. I’de hate to have her up on jack stands when I find something else I need to finish the job and wait a few days for the order to come in.

    Safety or not, me personally, I would remove the weapon from the holster while rooting around down there as opposed to it being pointed at my head.

    I figured that would catch some attention.

    I understand, especially since you don't know I don't keep a round in the chamber and I keep the thumb safety on.

    Def a good reminder. I did notice it staring me in the face while I was down there :thumbsup:

    Hey bud how does that exhaust chop sound? Looks like a job I could easily knock out myself.

    I went with the Coleman roadtrip LXE. Can buy different stove top attachments for it. Like the griddle, grill or stove. I also added a 10 foot hose to attach a large propane tank for long camping trips. I purchased last year for $149. Amazon seems to have raised the price since then.

    I've got an Magnaflow welded in so it didn't alter the sound much. If anything I think it's a little quieter now. It seems to centralizes the exhaust note a bit which just sounds better to me.

    I've heard a couple trucks with stock exhaust give a bit more growl (in my opinion) but nothing obnoxious.

    It took all of 14 seconds with a sawzall. I was bored and frustrated I couldn't go wheeling so had to do something "constructive."

    It seems 5100s are a common choice on TW. I'm satisfied with the rear units I installed but haven't done the front yet. My plan is to go up 1 notch and still use OEM springs. Back to the rear, I installed an RMAS kit. Ride quality improved, pulling my camper was more stable and they are adjustable.

    For the front springs I'd go with OME, likely the 885. OME springs will ride much better than stock with 5100.

    Rear, Not sure about the supreme, but people have had good reviews about the icon or wheelers AAL.

    Not sure why you bother. Might as well lock it in a safe under the back seat
