    I want to do a 2/1 lift with aal. I can’t decide which lift to go with the toytec boss or the Bilstein 5100. Any feedback or suggestions be great.

    5100’s front 2” rear 1.5” aal IMO GREAT budget lift. Eibach great kit as well. Toytec even better. Depends on your needs. For me light off-roading trails and every day driver 5100’s are great.

    Good Luck OP

    265/75/16 Yokohama X-AT. I’m fine staying with this size. Small lifts still look good with this size IMO

    My son's truck is the mgm short bed. On the 5th setting and both have one inch blocks, carrier bearing drop and front diff drop , ECGS clam shell bushing and 1/4 shim for the lean. Both ride the same, both have the same wheels and tires
    The settings on the shocks will ride the same no matter what perch it's set to.
