    Will adding a AAL and just put adjustable blistens up front give me about 2 inches of lift and leave the truck level?

    zboy -

    How's your ride quality been with the 5100's set at 2.50 (with the stock springs, I'm assuming)? Is it a noticably stiffer / rougher ride? I'm very close to pulling the trigger on exactly the same lift set-up as you, but have not decided if I want to set the front 5100's at the 1.75 setting or go for 2.50. Reading some of the other threads on the 5100's, it seems that folks are a bit leery of maxing out the front 5100's at the 2.50 setting becuase of a concern of pre-loading the stock springs and creating a harsher ride. Just curious what your experience has been. Also, what kind of AAL did you go with? I'm looking at the Toytec 1.5 TSB AAL.

    (My truck is a 2013 DCSB)

    Ride & handling is great no vibes yes a little stiffer running 265/75/16 Dura load C make sure your AAL has friction pads NO squeaking also some say if you go 2.5 you need new UCA ? I'm running OEM all good !!!

    nice! do you make it into the parking garages in town? And how much height did you lose on the roof clearance? That's exactly what I'm putting on and worried it won't clear my garage at home.
