    Hey guys. Finally getting to the time where I need to replace my front suspension and figured I may as well spend some money and do a complete over haul on the front end. Kind of tired about hitting some back roads and worried about my truck snapping in half. Back end, I’ve recently replaced the leaf springs and shocks with 5100s. Not mechanically inclined so was wondering if some grease monkeys could throw some front end components I should get replaced while the truck is ripped apart. Ie, control arms, shocks etc.

    what setting do you have the 5100s set at? This will affect your ride quality.
