    That means you will be right in the middle..
    So you can either run the 0" to 1.5" rears and you should be ok if you are not going to be driving off road. You run the risk of the shock acting as a limit strap and that will damage the shock quickly..
    Or you can try and run the extended length 5100's and modify your bumpstops so that the suspension bottoms out before the shock does..
    Or you may need to go with a different brand of shock for the rear..
    Thank you,
    Sonny

    I am going to buy 5100s and set them to 2.5 to fit 285/70/17 I also want the truck to be level so I plan on doing a 2" aal would it be okay to use the rear 5125 while waiting to get the aal?
