    I tried spacer in the front with blocks in the back. It was horrible. Then I switches to 5100's in the front 5100's in the back with blocks. It was horrible. Both of those setups produced alot of body roll on the street and any flexing of the suspension at all was tight and bottomed out super easy. I put 3" Iron Man coils rated for 275lb over weight with Iron Man struts up front, left the 5100 shocks in back and used Dakar 3" Add-A-Leaf in back and it rides and performs better than stock. I even hit speed bumps at normal speed with no problems. I spent alot of money trying the cheap routes first and in the end spent alot more doing it right. Any good coil and strut combo up front will do you well, and any good add-a-leaf or new spring pack in the back will do you well. Just stay away from 5100's or spacers in the front and blocks in the back. That will save you alot of time, money and headache.

    For the Iron Man coils and struts in the front, the 5100 shocks in the rear and the Dakar add-a-leaf I spent about $1,500. I bought all the parts separate and new and used a friends shop to do install with his help.

    Just my experience, hope it helps. :)
