    Do you have 5100s all the way around and do you have an add a leaf in the rear? If so, which one? If not, what do you have? Cause I've been looking into that setup because it's fairly inexpensive.

    Not running the 5100's in the rear cause I DO NOT Have an AAL and I thought that these shocks only worked with a lift but I've read there fine and work with a 0-1 inch lift, gotta put those onafter work one day, but the feel of the front suspension of anything got 10x better

    But honestly I've had the thought in the back of my mind that my coils that came with these shocks are bad and being set at 2.5 ride height gave them enough preload to ride smooth but I'm not sure either day I love this set up and its worth EVERY PENNY

    Ive been looking into an AAL but in my mind I want zero lift from the AAL I just want the extra strength to load more weight in the rear not even sure if that's possible, but I'm thinking of a fab tech 1 1/2 inch leaf spring and hopping that I can keep the look of the front end being up higher

    I run that set up and I love it I drive freeways 85% of my time and it's hardly noticeable for me, although I bough my shocks used so mine where broken in no idea how many miles where on the coils
