    If one we're doing all highway driving in weather that was good all year round like it is here in Northwest Florida, what would you recommend for a lift of no more than 2"?

    Yep. Set them at 1.75 so you can still align it correctly without UCAs.

    Lock it.

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    X2 no lift is better for only on road driving.

    All I can hear in my head is Dean Wormer saying "Zero.... Point.... Zero."

    I disagree. On road vs off road is not the only factor. Try carrying anything in the bed with non-tsb leafs. If out of warranty, AAL is the perfect solution along with the 5100's to level it which is exactly what I did. You don't need UCA's unless you go 3" or higher.

    OME lift
    I also disagree (well kinda). Before my OME lift my truck leaned through the corners and hauling stuff really sagged the rear. Now my truck rides like a brick but holds through the corners like a car would. And with the aal the rear doesn't sag.

    The OP did not mention hauling or towing anything. He wanted an on-road lift.

    And as stated, the 5100/AAL combo is perfect. So, clearly, saying "No lift" when he says he wants a lift doesn't answer his question.

    Technically he's already got a lift. Considering he's 100% on road and he could do that in a car :cool:

    ^OK, you got me there, lol.

    MONTANATACO: Love the truck. Makes me wish I really had gone with my second color choice (SWB).
