    Thanks. That's exactly the explanation I was looking for.

    And I'm up late sweating it again. But, this time, I've made a decision: Going with the 5100's.

    Does DSM not add sales tax when you purchase online? Is it already added in?

    Mine was about 4.

    OP - you were the one that said.... People should just not answer if they don't want to..

    No offense.....Many people know all your questions. BUT, all the answers can be found if you do some work, read some of the old threads, and put in the time. I learned so much more going through the threads and reading.

    In all honestly, I'm kinda shocked this is still going.. Many threads exactly like this one died on post #4....

    Good luck on your decision though..

    Just wanted a little interaction. Makes you smarter to be speaking what you know. Anyway, just ordered 4 Bilsteins with a 2" AAL.

    Great choice....

    Suggestion...
    1. Take all measurements before touching the truck.
    2. Put the aal on first. (Note that you may net more than 2" on the aal as it will settle. Take that into account..)
    3. Before installing the front 5100s, use a floor jack on the front and lift up to 1.75 and then again to 2.5. Take pics if you wish.

    A lot easier to install the 5100s once than twice..

    1. Why do I need to take the measurements? What measurements are you speaking of?
    3. Is this to just get a visual and see which i prefer?

    My plan was, knowing I am going to net around 2.5" in the front and 2" in the back, it should put me about level. What do I need to measure?

    The man who doesn't even have his truck lifted just likes to dream of one day doing it and patronize others who are actually getting it done.

    You dont have to answer. Would actually prefer you didn't. Someone else that has the knowledge and EXPERIENCE can if they so choose.
