I just did the same set up 5100's and AAL. when I went to alignment the shop I couldn't get the caster angle right. 1.0 for left and 1.2 right thats about as close as I could get it. How close did you get yours?

So like the title states made the jump from the dreaded spacers to 5100's all around. Fronts are set at 2.5 and the back received a 2" procomp add a leaf. All I can say is I am really kicking my self for not going this route sooner, night and day difference. Leveled the truck perfectly. Currently running a set of stock 17s with 265/70-17 Revo 2.

I have to 5100's in the rear and love them too!! Mine are set up with Deaver springs and my truck rides like a dream.

I was going to get 5100s up front and OME coils so I emailed ToyTec and they said it wouldnt work ans I had to go with Eibach coils, which I find weird. Can anyone confirm this???

On the ZERO setting they should work, but both Toytec & OME recommend running the OME shocks with their 880-series lift coils...

What did that leaf pack run you? If you don't mind me asking want to go that route, eventually the setup I have will begin to sag. Also how much lift did it give the rear or do they build to spec? Thanks.

My suggestion would be to get your springs from All Pro. My buddy got them and I can't tell any difference. Plus for the same price he got the bushings and brake lines where I had to buy them seperately. You will love it, the stock springs suck so bad on these trucks. As far as lift, my truck ended up sitting almost 1" higher. So about 3" from stock.
