    5125s and 5100s and 5150s are all the same really.

    5125s just come in a lot more lengths as to 5150s

    5150s have resivors for better cooling

    all the same valving tho(ride the same)

    if your just getting a 1.5'' aal, then 5100s will work or 8.5'' travel 5125s/5150s

    just depends on your wallet ha

    Figured this would be the best place to ask:

    What is the general consensus about the ride quality with the Eibachs/Bilsteins vs. an OME setup?

    I have the 2.7L/4cyl, how much lift should I get from the Eibach/5100 coils? And will the ride be too harsh because I have the 2.7L/4cyl?

    Also, how much lift should I shoot for in the rear to level the truck out with the Eibachs up front?

    Basically the consensus is that the OME with nitrocharger shocks ride better. But we all still love out 5100/eibach combo.

    With your 4 cyl i believe you will get 3.5'' easy man. Maybe even more at first. And ride is kinda perspective orientated..

    As for the rear to level it, you would need like 3.5-4'' of lift to make it close to level id guess. More then an AAL will give you anyways..

    Do yyou have or plan to run armor? If you add 100+# for plate bumber and winch and another 100# for full skids and sliders, your eibachs will smooth right out where OME coils will begin to sag.

    I plan to run full armor and skids, but a tube bumper, not a plate.

    I may do that. The billies are also cheaper, and made in the USA.

    Will just need to figure out what to run in the back

    yeah, I am not going that route because I have a 97 and would have to cut off my spring hangers and relocate them. If that wasn't an object I would just get the expo's because they are cheap compared to other leaf packs, and give the perfect lift height.

    Yea you are screwed like me. I pretty much have the best option you can get without getting a custom leaf pack by Dakar or Deaver or Alcan.
