    I added the Toytec AAL 1.5-2", so I am looking for rear shocks in this range.

    5100 is for a max of 1.5" lift?

    Icons, King etc are in the high price range.

    I tried the Fox 2.0 1-2" lift option with miserable failure. First they do not include the lower bushings, so make your own. Second, after less than 30 days of use one shock does nothing but clunk on the slightest bump. No it is internal, not the mount moving. I am done with Fox.

    OME is an option.

    BOSS has units with and without reservoir in 2.0.

    Any others I missed?

    Ah you're right. I've only heard bad things about the OME rears though on my friend's 1st gen (which he's since replaced) and others on here with hard clunking noises going over bumps. I believe the Boss 2.0 is a fancy 5100 shock as well.

    I initially was going to get the 6112/5160 combo until I saw it was a max 2" lift in the front. Wound up paying a little more and getting Icons.

    5160 runs fine with 1.5 AAL in rear, have not heard anything bad about this combo and lots of people running it here.

    Depending on your tire size you don't need the 2 inches of clearance
