    Silver truck - I added the Dakar AAL. Not exactly what you asked for, but useful maybe.

    I also added a 3/8" thick spring relocation plate from Sky Manufacturing. Otherwise I would rub pretty bad on the front of the fender at full stuff. Moved the axle back 3/4".

    It might be ok with the AAL. I think I got 3"+ with the AAL and the relocation plate. I'm at around 2.5" in the front, there is a noticeable rake when looking from the side.

    With eibachs?

    I be the Dakars and the AAL.

    Either way starting with the Dakars isn't a bad idea. Then you could always add either shackles or AAL after

    Get the dakars for the back, and adjustable coilovers for the front. Then you can tune your front height to match the back however you want it.

    Seriously, when I first lifted my truck I started with the adjustable 5100s with stock springs, didn't like the ride height. Then I switched the springs out for some OME springs, didn't like the ride height. I was about to add a OME 5/8" spacer and the I realized I was going to have three different lifts (lift struts, lift springs, and a spacer). I traded the whole thing out for a used set of coilovers that I had rebuilt. Everything else aside, just being able to adjust the height was worth it for me. When I added the OME AAL, I was able to raise the front up a little to match the raised rear. I couldn't have don't that with out the coilovers.
