    Do you have a lot of extra weight in the front? 882s provide the same amount of lift but have a softer ride.

    You can do the 5100s with just the OEM could and set the 5100s up

    Or you can set the 5100s all the way at the bottom and roll with the coils.

    It's up to you.

    I feel like the 883s actually work better since they are not under so much preload when mounted on the shocks compared to the very long 882 coils.

    I have the 5100's up front, adjusted to 1.75, and it leveled it out very close to the rear. Stock coils. Have about 15k miles on them so far with no issues whatsoever. Looks good.

    I ended up just putting the front all the way down with 883 and shackles in the rear
