    Welcome. I'm lifted with 5100 and very happy with them.

    Not sure how your lifting in the rear but adding a 3 leaf pack to existing leafs is a great way to go.

    Thanks, ordered JBA uca's for the front level struts. I like the idea of being able to replace the ball joints with a moog part#. Hope they are as good as I've heard.

    I have the same truck but I went a slightly different route. 2.5" lift in the front using eibach coils and bilstein 5100 set to 0. You are likely going to need to replace your upper control arms and do the ECGS needle bearing swap. There are tons of posts about the ECGS swap. I'm guessing you have a nasty vibe coming from the front now that you lifted it and the ECGS bearing swap will eliminate that.

    I see you said above you ordered new uppers. Good call, I can't speak to the ones you picked out but I just put on light racing uppers and it made a world of difference in ride quality and alignment.
