    I am not sure if the shocks are the same but I found the Sport suspension to provide a much more comfortable ride on the road. I also don't use my truck offroad either, just an occasional gravel trail, road trips, and towing my atv. I also have a question for you if you don't mind, how does the truck ride with the larger M/S 2s and what are your mpgs like? I what the same tire and size on mine...thanks.

    Hey I just bought some 5100s and will be putting them on next weekend with the stock springs. I'm also running 265/70/17s but the Nitto Terra grappler G2s. I actually love the way the truck rides with the little larger tire and I'm excited to get the 5100s on to level it out and have heard it's a great ride.
