    You would need an AAL in the back to level. The rear 5100's do not provide lift.

    The AAL will provide the lift. The 5100's will accommodate that lift.

    I have the same lift as you on my truck (on it when I bought it) and of course want to replace it. You can get the AAL for the rear and change out the shocks later on.
    Then do front springs and shocks or coilovers later on. Thats the direction Im headed.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I think you are asking "Will the 5100 fit the stock coil?"

    If tha is what you questiong indeed is, then yes the factory coil fits the 5100 perfect. (5100 was designed for it)

    The front will provide 0"-2.5" of lift. You would need a top-plate spacer (1/4") to gain the full 3" of lift in the front. The rear shocks only accomodate lift; 0"-2". You will need an AAL to get lift in the rear.

    you cab do bilstein 5100 on all four corners. just make sure you dont go over 2" AAL in the rear. maybe get a 1.5" AAL and set the front 5100s at 1.75". all of this will vastly improve your ride
