    Will do with the app.

    Shopped around and I just can't find a place that's going to beat what you're selling the 5100's for. :rofl:

    Tell her you're getting car sick from sloshing around in your ride! :puke:

    and the only cure from this is to just get some 5100's

    Wolfpack is correct. We've processed the order 1st thing this morning, and they're shipping today. We'll email you the tracking # later tonight, after we close the UPS end of day. Look for a .pdf file from us, that has the UPS tracking information in the body of the receipt. Time in transit to NorCal is usually 2 working days.

    Thank you,
    -Marco @ DSM

    Well I have 2 strikes against me. 1. we are expecting in Aug. so money is tight. But this is why I want to do it now, because I know once my boy gets here it will only be worse. 2. She's pregnant. Oh yeah already said this. :D She already complains how hard it is to get in and out of my truck now. From this perspective I need to wait until after the baby comes. I can't win. :(

    On a serious note though, I want to level my truck. But I want to try for the rear leaf tsb first. Was thinking this would justify my "need" for them. :D And no it's not just for the "free lift". I'm not happy with the weak springs. Can't haul much of anything and its on the stops.

    My shocks should be here at the end of the week. I am going to be running the stock coils when they are installed and I have the TSB done. Is the setting of 1.75 correct for an almost level truck?

Can i use the standard 5100's? or do i need the extended ones? If you need measurements let me know and i can get them..i just dont have them at work right now :)

    Thanks!
